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 (-5[1])night gave me dark-colored eyes” in the two-line poem “A Generation.” This movement’s journal Today (15[1])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,” (10[1])which was quoted during protests that motivated the affiliated novelist of War Trash and Waiting to emigrate. For 10 points, (10[1])Bei Dao and Ha Jin belonged (10[1])to what Chinese poetic movement, whose alleged obscurity inspired its meteorological name? ■END■

ANSWER: Misty Poets [or Misty Poetry; or Ménglóng Shīrén] (The first sentence quotes Bei Dao’s “Declaration,” and the poet in the second sentence was Gu Cheng. Today was published as Jintian.)
