Selected poems and paintings
Che Qianzi
车前子
Che Qianzi (the pen name of Gu Pan) was born in 1963 in Suzhuo and currently splits his time between his hometown and Beijing. A well-known poet, prose stylist, and painter, Che has published over twenty-one volumes of poetry and essays. He recently staged two solo exhibits of his ink wash paintings in China, and his work can be seen at Galerie Gabrial in the US and online. We are grateful to the artist, Che Qianzi, and the 吴风雅颂 Wufengyasong (a gallery and organization in Su Zhou) for permission to reprint these images.
