The Edge of the Island島嶼邊緣

• 簡介

  
  One of the foremost practitioners of contemporary Chinese poetry in Taiwan, Chen Li has translated, with his wife Chang Fen-ling, the works of many poets—such as Plath, Heaney, Neruda, Paz, Tranströmer, Szymborska, Yosano Akiko—into Chinese. He subtly combines in his poetry the elements of Western modernism and post-modernism with the merits of Oriental poetics and the Chinese language, seeking incessantly to find a balance between art and life, suffering and joy, dream and reality. In 2012, he was invited to the Olympic poetry festival (Poetry Parnassus) in London as the poet representing Taiwan.
