Frontier Taiwan : An Anthology of Modern Chinese Poetry Paperback / softback
Edited by Michelle Yeh, N. G. D. Malmqvist
Part of the Modern Chinese Literature from Taiwan series
Paperback / softback
Description
Taiwan has evolved dramatically from a little-known island to an internationally acclaimed economic miracle and thriving democracy.
The history of modern Taiwanese poetry parallels and tells the story of this transformation from periphery to frontier.
Containing translations of nearly 400 poems from 50 poets spanning the entire twentieth century, this anthology reveals Taiwan in a broad spectrum of themes, forms, and styles: from lyrical meditation to political satire, haiku to concrete poetry, surrealism to postmodernism.
The in-depth introduction outlines the development of modern poetry in the unique historical and cultural context of Taiwan.
Comprehensive in both depth and scope, Frontier Taiwan beautifully captures the achievements of the nation's modern poetic traditions.
