-
This is a lengthy review article on two books about postwar Chinese language or Sinophone poetry from Taiwan. The article covers Dominic Cheung's capacious anthology of poetry translated into English and Julia Lin's scholarly work that deals chapter-by-chapter with a dozen important poets. Although not fully comprehensive, taken together, these two books give the reader a fulsome understanding of poetry, especially of the 1950s to the early 1980s. Poetry in Taiwan during this era came to full fruition and represents some of the best Chinese poetry of the modern era and a worthy counterpoint to the more than two millennia of traditional Chinese poetry for which Chinese civilization is so well known.
