Im writing an essay on a poem of the chinese obscure poet Haizi.

Does anyone know about any reliable websites about obscure poetry in China (朦胧诗) in english or chinese?

I've just discovered this poet quite recently, and have just started reading him.
Here's the Baidu page on him: http://baike.baidu.com/view/7216.htm
and here's a collection of his works for anyone who is interested:

My favorite lines so far ,from 《夜》:

在门外黑夜的嘴唇
写下了你的姓名

Much has been translated so far, there is even a collection of poets in a bilingual poetry anthology. Also, there have been numerous translations of individual poets. Try checking the Asian Bibliography (of which, being outside of my institution, I have no access to).
