苏联是个喜爱诗歌的国家。有人逗趣地说:诗人诗人何其多,一片树叶二人歌。这话不无夸大,但从中可以看出苏联人民喜爱诗歌的情况。苏联朋友告诉我:“写诗的人多,不等于诗人多。”这话讲得很好,说明苏联人民对诗歌的严格要求,也说明诗人在人们心目中的重要地位。 1983年年底,我与戈宝权同志访问苏联时,有机会接触一些诗人。当他们听说我国诗人有《诗刊》、《星星》等专门刊物时,既惊讶又羡慕。那时我们只有两三种,而现在已有十几种诗歌报刊了。如果他们听到这个数目字,又会有怎样的反应呢?苏联只是莫斯科和列宁格勒两地每年各编一本厚厚的《诗 The Soviet Union is a country that loves poetry.

The Soviet Union only made a thick annual poem each year in Moscow and Leningrad
