The island's dramatic history has given modern Taiwan literature a wealth of conflicting cultural, linguistic, and ideological legacies that continue to shape it. Modern Taiwan poetry draws on the developing modernism of 1920s and 1930s China, the avant-garde movements of modern Europe, and Japan's \"colonial modernism,\" which itself was inspired by Europe. By all standards, Taiwan has produced some of the best modern poetry in Chinese.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe forty-eight poets presented here speak on a host of topics, including family and homeland, memory of war, social justice, and the natural world. Collectively, they paint a complex picture of the trauma, travails, and beauties of life in Taiwan. They represent different generations, display different styles, and express different views and positions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its variety of poetic voices and facing pages of Chinese and English text, \u003ci\u003eSailing to Formosa\u003c\/i\u003e will be enjoyed by readers of foreign literature in English translation and by students of Chinese literature and language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Yeh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295985879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295985879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.84w x 0.47d","brand":"Michelle Yeh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119532077311,"sku":"9780295985879","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d34390f9-c730-4b58-8145-66c51896b85f.jpg?v=1687409819","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sailing-to-formosa-michelle-yeh-9780295985879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
