Question

A poem from this movement that laments, “In an age without heroes / I just want to be a man,” ends with the image of “a blood-red dawn” that “From star-like bullet holes shall flow.” The 1998 film The Poet depicts a New Zealand resident from this literary movement who ax-murdered his wife; that poet from this movement noted “the darkest night gave me dark-colored eyes” (-5[1])in the two-line poem “A Generation.” This movement’s journal Today published a protest poem that declares, “Let me tell you, world, (*) / I—do—not—believe!” An author from this movement used a pseudonym meaning “Northern Island” for his poem “The Answer,” which was quoted during protests that motivated the affiliated (10[1])novelist of War Trash and Waiting to emigrate. For 10 points, Bei Dao and Ha Jin belonged to what Chinese poetic movement, whose alleged obscurity inspired its meteorological name? ■END■ (0[3])
