Abstract:

Through a complete exploration of poetic topics such as epic myth, intellectual writing, folk writing, vanguard complex, female consciousness and body writing, some characteristics of 90's poetic circles can be seen as follows. First, the epic myth has gone far away from us, and a long poem is only an artistic expression of a poet's idealistic passion. Second, the intellectual writing is not opposed to the folk writing; on the contrary, they have something in common. Third, the vanguard complex has gradually vanished and native consciousness comes back. And finally, it is important that female consciousness should break away from body writing.

Key words: epic myth, intellectual writing, folk writing, vanguard complex, female consciousness, body writing
