This paper has the issues of writing the history of the modern poetry in Taiwan as its theme. It first points out the necessity, appropriateness, and correctness to write the history of poetry for Taiwan. This is because the environmental change of pluralism in discourse and in the academia has already helped to form a discursive mode for the history of Taiwan’s poetry. Basing on the theory of discourse, this paper examines the problems of the histories of poetry currently in prints. Using Huang He-sheng (黃荷生), Bi Guo (碧果), and Wu Cheng (吳晟) written into the history as three cases, I discuss these three levels of problems: interpretation, evaluation, and historical point of view. Finally I propose a plural point of view in writing histories for poetry: it’s better to come back to the more general dialectics between the generic development and the development of the poets' individual history so as to construct a systematic and theoretic history for Taiwan’s modern poetry.
