| Abstract | AbstractGu Cheng (1957–1993), a prominent member of the “Misty Poets”, lived the last part of his life in the West as he was exiled in 1989. So he stayed abroad separeted from his country and people and unable to cope with the western world. Western influences can be seen even in his early production (where we can see similarities with the works of J.H. Fabre) as well as in his last cycle of poems Cheng (City), in which we can find the influence of T.S. Eliot.Keywords: Misty poetry, Chinese modernism, nature, exile, annihilationIzvlečekGu Cheng (1957–1993), znameniti član »Meglenih pesnikov«, je zadnji del svojega življenja – od leta 1989 naprej – preživel v eksilu na Zahodu. V tujini je bil ločen od svoje domovine in sonarodnjakov, po drugi strani pa ni bil sposoben shajati z zahodnim svetom. Zahodni vplivi pa so vidni že v njegovem zgodnjem opusu, v katerem lahko zaznamo podobnost z deli J.H. Fabreja, in tudi v zadnjem ciklusu njegovih pesmi z naslovom Cheng (Mesto), v katerem je najti vpliv T.S. Eliota.Ključne besede: Meglena poezija, kitajski modernizem, narava, eksil, izničenje |
