在1980年代中後期出發的詩人中，陳謙（1968-）是目前較少為論者們注意的一人。他在二十餘年的創作歷程繳出六本詩集，並獲十多個重要文學獎，創作成績可觀。與其他同時代的詩人不同的是，他始終堅持本土與寫實路線，將個人的情感隱藏於現實的書寫中，以異常的勇氣與對真理的探尋，從內在的抒情走上關懷土地的道路。在寬廣的視野中，陳謙透過對生活、生命與土地的深刻觀察，藉由詩筆觸動讀者內在的深處。在近期出版的《給台灣小孩》中，我們看到他更為宏大的企圖與書寫的熟練。他地圖式地捕捉島嶼上百千風景，在風中、雨中傾訴著愛與飛行的渴望，由此所開展出的心靈地圖，不但迷人且觸動著我們靈魂深處的溫熱。

Among the poets who started publishing their poems in mid-1980s, Chian Chen (1968-) has been little discussed by scholars/critics. He published six collections of poems in more than twenty years, and won over ten prizes related to literature. Unlike other poets of the same time, he has focused on the value of locality and realism. He involved his personal feelings in his realistic works, using his extraordinary courage to explore truths from his inner lyrical sense to the concerns of land. Through the deep observation of living, life, and land, Chen with a generous mind creates poems to touch readers' inner feelings. In his latest collection of poems, For Taiwan Children, Readers can see his wider intention and creating mastery. In a map-like manner, he displays hundreds even thousands of views of the island Taiwan. He expresses his love and desire for flying via wind-based and/or rain-based poems. As such, the mind map he displays fascinates and touches readers' depth of their hearts and even warms them.
