Synopsis
A poetry collection, published in 1984, whose title names the current of spring. The sources do not detail its pieces; Mongolian critics hailed it as a turning point for the country's modern poetry, and one of its readers called its author's writing “poems of the clear morning”. Its author, who came from the east of the country, had been known until then for a few texts about the waters of a great river and about a luminous morning.
Context
The book appeared in 1984, under the socialist regime, eight years after its author joined a circle of poets that met in secret and had welcomed him on the strength of a few poems sent from his province. Two other collections followed in his lifetime, in 1991 and in 2002, then posthumous volumes gathered by his friends. His distinctions include the prize of a foundation named after the founder of modern Mongolian poetry, in 1999, and the Golden Pen for work of the year, in 2001.
Who it is for
Verse in Mongolian, with no French translation; the sources do not describe the pieces in the book.
Prizes and reception
Regarded by Mongolian critics as a renewal of the country's poetry in the mid-eighties.
