Taiwan poetry was gradually modernizing as the dust was clearing after the war amid a powerful "invasion" of Chinese. On the one hand, the literature of Taiwan was nourished by Japanese literature; but on the other hand it was absorbing styles of contemporary poetry popular in Shanghai and developing a native Taiwanese style. The most important journals of poetry were Modern Poetry, Blue Stars, and Epoch Poetry Quarterly.
當時，台灣詩壇正從戰後餘灰及漢文字強勢「入侵」中慢慢現代化；一方面從日本文學吸收養分，另方面揉合中國上海現代詩風，逐漸發展出屬於台灣本土的風格，主要的詩刊有《現代詩》、《藍星》、《創世紀》。
