When guitar meets poetry

In the past two years, I have met many local literary and art circles with a few friends who like reading and writing. Being with them, feeling their love for literature and listening to their views on literature and art are really a pleasure.

The theme of this literary activity tonight is "When Guitar Meets Poetry", and the organizers are local avant-garde poet and painter Xing Hao and Jincheng Guitar Association. A week ago, I saw the notice of this activity in a group, and I saw the contents of the recitation in it, so I added Teacher Xing Hao's WeChat according to the contact information in the notice. He sent me a poem, Snow on the Wall by the poet Shen Haobo. Teacher Xing Hao gave me a brief introduction to Shen Haobo and asked me to leave my name, saying that I would use it on the program. After a day or two, he asked me to send him the voice of this poem. As far as I know, it's for the guitarist's music. According to my own understanding, I read it several times and chose two books to send to Teacher Xing.

Tonight is a real live performance. There were not many people when I went. I met Mr. Xing Hao, greeted him, and then sat down to chat. It was then that I began to pay attention to the scene environment. The small space is filled with tables and chairs; The table is full of colorful fruits, snacks and red wine; The stage is full of musical instruments: guitar, tambourine, etc. Two guitarists fiddled with slow music at will.

People come in one after another, mostly unfamiliar faces, but I know there are recitation lovers and poets, all of whom have their own skills.

When people were almost the same, Mr. Xing Hao began to host the event, which officially kicked off in a rock song "Stumbling".

Since then, Mr. Xing Hao has introduced poets every time he reports programs, so I know some people, such as poets, manager Zhang of the group, vice president of radio and television stations (the title may be wrong), editor-in-chief of newspapers and so on. I also know the poetic style of these poets. Some of them are avant-garde poets and full of high morale. Some are fairy tale poets who weave love and beauty, giving people warmth; Some are good at writing about families and writing ordinary family life in plain language, which makes people feel more cordial; ……

Among them, Credit Suisse, the deputy general manager, was particularly impressive. He is the sponsor of this activity, and he takes all the red wine. At the same time, he is also a versatile musician. I feel that he is 50 or 60 years old, but his personality is particularly bold. He has a glib tongue and clinks glasses with everyone every once in a while, which is very infectious. He performed the most programs, and improvised Mr. Xing Hao's poems, which were full of fun. Reciting your own poems is straightforward and natural; The erhu and guitar ensemble "Horse Racing" is skillful. Every program attracted constant applause from the audience.

Guitarist Liu Xing's playing and singing also aroused the enthusiasm of the audience. A song "Persistence" and a song "The Girl in the Flower Room", sung by one person and sung by many people, really evoked many people's memories, and the scene was really amazing.

What impressed me the most should still be his own poem "The Gunner" recited by Xing Hao, the protagonist today. This poem itself reflects many ugly phenomena in society through the poet's own experience of being a gunman, which can arouse people's * * *. The poet's recitation is more hoarse, especially at the end of the sentence repeated three times. The poet tried his best on the stage, bent down and clenched his fist, and his expression was full of endless resentment and spit. The shouts almost shattered this small space. However, the poet's attitude seems to have a playful meaning, so his mood is very funny. Everyone in the audience was infected by his performance, and even the editor and poetess who always sat quietly opposite me couldn't help laughing. This is really a pure person, a free and easy person! I am deeply infected!

At the end of the activity, almost every poet Xing Hao who participated in the recitation presented a painting. His paintings, like his poems, are non-mainstream and abstract, but fortunately, we don't understand until he gives an explanation every time. I got a picture of a bull. I thought it was quite energetic, but the poet said it was a bit erotic, which I didn't see.

This is the warmest and most beautiful activity I have ever participated in.
