Part-time poets are on the rise

When was the last time you read a poem? Is there someone in your social network who calls himself or herself a poet?

At the Qinghai Lake International Poetry Festival in August, about 150 Chinese poets got together to celebrate.

"At any point in our history, poets belonged to small groups. The difference is the number of people who love poems," says Shu Cai, a poet and researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
