ABSTRACT

Yu Kwang-chung is contemporary Taiwan’s most eminent poet. The subject matter of his poems is rich and varied, with geography being a priority among his themes which became ever more distinct after he moved to Kaohsiung. Yu’s geography intends to imbue the land with poetry;through immersion in an abundance of verse, and his physical presence and living in the locality, he inscribes the poet’s radiance on the land. Using Yu’s anthologies as the subject matter, and making references to the two volumes of Selected Poems of Yu Kwang-chung, this article explores the content and cultural meaning of the geography in his poems.
