趙天儀是笠詩社創辦人之一，長期參與笠詩刊編務，從事詩創作迄今將近六十年，對於台灣現代詩發展、現代詩學建立，以及台灣文學本土性、現實性和批判性傳統的累積，都具有卓越貢獻。從1962年出版第一本詩集《菓園的造訪》迄今，趙天儀共出版詩集十種；詩作表現，隨其生命歷程進展有不同風采，李魁賢曾將其詩路歷程分為「抒情的寫實主義」和「批判的寫實主義」兩時期，本文增裕「省思的寫實主義」，合為三個階段。這三個階段，各有不同特色，題材也因生命的開展或頓挫而有不同，但總的來看，趙天儀的詩世界，是具有深厚生活性的精神世界，表現了台灣的鄉土（地理空間）、社會（生活空間）以及台灣人的集體記憶（歷史空間），形成互為表裡的詩的三度空間。他以地方感作為書寫主體，以地理、社會、歷史等三個空間作為稜鏡，戰後台灣的意象從而在他的詩作中浮出，並顯現出具有不同色差的多面性光采
