ABSTRACT

Yu Kwang-chung shifted his subject from mainland China to Taiwan during his Kaohsiung period. He showed his great concern for matters in Kaohsiung in a conscious move to use social phenomena and social problems in Taiwan as the subject matter of his poetry. His anthology Dreams and Geography published in 1990 falls into this period, with most of the content having Taiwan as its theme. “Geography” also represents “reality”, and shows the relationship between time and space, with the poems touching on the many realities in Taiwanese society. Yu’s poetry is varied in style, showing distinct differences for the various periods. This article investigates the ideas of reality and its boundary based mainly on Dreams and Geography published by the poet upon his return to Taiwan.
