A Cross-cultural Study of Modern Haikus: Chen Li’s Microcosmos

international perspective and response to Latin American poetry, we are presented with a wealth of cross-cultural haikus in his Microcosmos.It is worth noting that both Mexico and Taiwan have a history as colonies.Examining the modern haiku poetry produced by these authors helps us to see how bicultural awareness in both Taiwan and Mexico can be an important foundation for reading and writing.Japanese haikus are literary forms of "the other" in the literature of these two areas.This intersects with literary translation, a type of deep reading.
