The development of Taiwanese literature has become more and more mature, as more and more people participate in its writing and research. Its subjects have also become more extensive and diverse. In particular, the genre of poetry is the largest in terms of quantity. In the past, most Taiwanese poetry researchers classified poems according to individual poets. Even though some researchers compared two or more poets a comprehensive collection of poetry is still needed to complete research classification for a certain time period. This is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, since it is only possible when the researcher has a degree of understanding about Taiwanese-language poets. Therefore, most researchers on Taiwanese literature generally do not work on this area.In this study, we focused on Taiwanese poetry from 2000-2010. First, the definition of Taiwanese poetry is established and the scope of research delineated so a selection method may be decided. Secondly, the poets are analyzed in terms of their output and creative process. Finally, Newspapers, magazines and poetry anthologies are analyzed to have a sense of the number of poems published in poetry publications. From these we can understand how Taiwanese poetry developed during this period. Thus from these aspects we look at Taiwanese poetry to show its diversity, while also establishing a basis for the study of modern Taiwanese poetry in the future.
