Good evening, every one. I am Anna Yin. Tonight we are glad to have Terry Barker with us. We will interview him about the Chinese culture and Canadian culture.
Hi! Anna:
It doesn't work.
Sound of silence
Silence is the theme
The silence between the words
When that silence
Envelopes you
You are at peace
And your soul will speak. _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul

more to come.
I've tried several times. The pop-up window shows "The program is not responding." It's still the Sound of Silence. _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul
Yes, as Mr. Barker points out, poetry is a mirror, and it reflects the people, the society to which the people belong, and the health and sickness of the society.
My understanding of Eric Voegelin’s view on literature generally and poetry particularly is that literary work reflects the mode of existence of the historical individuals who give it expression, and their modes of existence in turn may be representative of more widespread patterns in their society. _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul
I like the way Mr. Barker explained the origin of The People’s Poetry. It’s very clear and concrete. What follows is the key message of his explanation:
"The People’s Poetry as a term generally used has two meanings. In the first case, it is the poetry appealing to or written by common people of a nation or a group. The other meaning of it is the group or the nation itself. Its root in the Western countries lies in the traditional songs and poems of the public singers speaking to the tribe and clan. This tradition was transformed by the massive political and spiritual movements of the 18th and 19th centuries into a way of making public protests or expressing patriotic sentiments. In the US, People’s Poetry is called Populist Poetry while in Britain, it’s called Public Poetry. In Canada, the most famous exponents of this type of poetry in the English-speaking part of the country have been Milton Acorn and Al Purdy." _________________ I'm Champagne,

Yes, I agree with you.
He also mentioned that:
"the future of People’s Poetry is in doubt. This is because fewer and fewer people seem to want to identify themselves with common people or a historical people."
That’s right because most of us are cultural products of Meism. _________________ My throat knew thirst before the structure
