在1980年代出發的詩人群中，王添源（1954-2009）是過去較少為論者們重視，卻在二十世紀末與二十一世紀初臺灣現代詩壇上，開創十四行詩寫作新風貌的一人。1988年，王添源出版首部詩集《如果愛情像口香糖》，著眼於形式、內容或精神的試煉，這本詩集展現出雜陳、多樣的風貌。其中所收錄的六首十四行詩，成為詩人後來發展的主軸。之後，王添源先後出版《我用贗幣買了一本假護照─王添源的十四行詩》（1996）與《沒有ISBN的詩集－王添源的十四行詩第二輯》（2008）。裡頭我們可以看到，他柔情地訴說對於戀人以及這塊土地的愛；透過戲謔、反諷的手法將視線直指黑暗面，揭穿當代社會現實的虛妄假面，為十四行體創作多樣化的表現型態。在此同時，王添源也參與了1996年所發起的「學院詩人群」活動。他一肩挑起出版的事務，並在創作合集中發表了80多首詩作。上述種種表現，都讓王添源成為我們論述1980年代臺灣現代詩史，一個不可或缺的詩人。

Among the poets of 1980s, Wang Tian-Yuan (1954-2009) was little paid attention to by scholars in the past, but he was the first person that created the new style of writing sonnets in Taiwan between the end of 20th century and the beginning of 21st century. In 1988, Wang published his first collection of poems entitled ”If Love is Like Chewing Gum”, which focuses on the refinement of style, content or spirit. This collection displays varieties of styles. Six sonnets in the collection has become the mainstream of sonnet writing. Afterwards, Wang published two collection of poems, ”I Used Fake Money to Buy a Fake Passport-Wang Tian-Yuan's Sonnets” and ”the Collection of Lacking ISBN-Wang Tian-Yuan's Sonnets: Volume II”, in 1996 and 2008 respectively. These two collections address Wang's tender compassion for those who fall in love and the land where the Taiwanese live. Wang unveils the fabrication and hypocrisy of the society through verbal humor and irony, which portraits diverse expression styles of sonnet creating. Meanwhile, Wang also participated in ”Poet Group of an Academy” activity in 1996. He took charge of the publishing affairs, and published more than 80 poems in a combined collection. As such, Wang is an indispensible poet while we discuss the history of 1980s Taiwan modern poetry.
