Regional literature has been one of the main streams of Taiwanese literature since the mid-1990s. As authors from the southern part of Taiwan gradually developed a writing model similar to that of a descriptive writing style, authors from the east and off-shore islands have also structured a few unique characteristics of their own. Both types of narrative lay emphasis on describing local landscape and surroundings. First of all, fiction created by authors from the south expressed criticism and a sense of disapproval whereas these works usually portray miseries that people cause to the environment, and vice versa-people's sufferings resulting from the environment. On the other hand, works written by authors from the east and off-shore islands, although also implying criticism of the positioning and characteristics of the frontier just like in the works from the south, at the same time nevertheless retain positive depiction of the ability to preserve local characteristics, while-moreover-actively fumbling to form borderland poetics. No matter whether it is the works from the south or those from the east and off-shore islands, all are stories and characters derived from the land itself. These texts vividly display features of topography writing, molding regional literature out of a model similar to descriptive writing style, while at the same time reconstructing the local landscape for readers. The currently forming borderland poetics emerging from the east and off-shore islands of Taiwan provide an insightful observatory model from which to examine the development of contemporary Taiwan's regional literature.
