本論文以1895-1926年的《臺灣日日新報》、《臺灣教育》為史料，討論台灣日文新詩如何誕生的問題。首先，藉由拓寬「台灣新詩」的定義，將1895年台灣進入日本統治、傳入日本近代詩的同時，便算作台灣新詩的起點。接著，透過爬梳日本近代詩的歷史，闡明日本近代詩對於台灣日文新詩的影響。此影響可分為兩階段，一是明治期「新體詩」的傳入，使得日文新詩開始在台灣出現、並開始在詩中收編殖民地台灣的意象。二是大正期「口語自由詩」的傳入，使得文語定型詩的形式受到解放，並持續受到日本近代詩思潮的影響，進而促使台灣詩人的出現。從這個過程中，可以看出台灣日文新詩的誕生與日本近代國家與近代語言的建構有著密切的關係，這樣的關係影響了日治初期台灣日文新詩的性格，也影響了台灣詩人最初詩作的樣貌。相較於前行研究對台灣初期新詩中民族與抗日精神之強調，本論文應能提供較為不同的認識。 / This study focuses on the historical materials in “Taiwan Daily News” and “Taiwan Educational Association Magazine”(1895-1926), and explains the birth of Taiwanese new poetry written in Japanese. First, this study expands the definition of Taiwanese new poetry by putting its starting point at 1895 when Japanese modern poetry entered into Taiwan. Then, this study examines the history of Japanese modern poetry and how Japanese modern poetry influenced Taiwanese new poetry. This influence unfolded in two stages. During the Meiji period, the “new style poetry” was introduced into Taiwan. Taiwanese new poetry arose within this trend and Japanese poets began to appropriate Taiwanese local images in their works. During the Taisho period, the “free verse” was introduced into Taiwan and brought about a more liberal form of poetry. Under such an influence of Japanese modern poetry Taiwanese poets emerged. This study shows that the birth of Taiwanese new poetry was intimately related to the construction of Japanese as a modern language and Japan as a modern nation-state. This relationship influenced the feature in early stage of Taiwanese new poetry and the appearance of poems by Taiwanese poets.On early stage of Taiwanese new poetry, previous researches mostly focus on the resistance against Japan. This study brings up an alternative approach and tries to make a breakthrough in the field of new poetry in colonial Taiwan.

While the story of teaching makes plenty of room for academic and social learning, the telling often leaves out some of the most important details. In this thesis, I tell the stories of four teachers — how they practice and make sense of the caring relationship in the school and how such relationships lead to moral good in people, schools, communities, and the world. The moral is centered in the ongoing dialogue about what is best in schools and the world — the good, and the relationships in which the stories are set. The method is narrative analysis and the format is a series of free verse poems. The characters tell stories of knowing and being known, meaningful dialogue, modeling, authentic care, struggle and tension, individualized attention, hope, and transformation. The conclusion is a deep imagining of possibilities, implications, and outcomes.

Mwanadamu amejaribu kwa vyovyote vile kuvumbua na kunyumbua mambo mapya ambayo yataleta mvuto na kupimia akili yake kiubunifu katika hali ya kutaka kutangamana zaidi na binadamu mwenzake au kutaka kuelewa zaidi ulimwengu wake. Ndiposa washairi wengi wa kisasa wanashikilia kwamba ulimwengu unabadilika na hivyo utamaduni wa ushairi lazima ubadilike. Katika wasilisho hili tunajadili mabadiliko haya ya kimaumbo na athari zake katika ushairi wa Kiswahili. Si lengo letu kushawishi msomaji kujiunga na kikundi fulani cha ushairi bali kuangazia hoja mwafaka zinazotokana na mivutano na mikinzano katika mabadiliko haya, na namna mitazamo hii inavyofanikisha maendeleo ya ushairi.

Nights in The City Beautiful is a collection of confessional, free verse poems that explores sexual trauma, mental health, the exigencies of marriage, and the complexities of human desire. These interconnected poems are grounded with a braided narrative and tackle taboo themes. In Part 1: Monogamy, the reader journeys into the world of Vincent and Victoria, their profound love, and their anxiety disorders. In Part 2: Polyamory, Victoria gets caught in a love triangle when she meets her publishing coworker, Peter Langley. The book evokes the movement of Romanticism and first-and-second-generation Romantic poets such as William Blake and Lord Byron. Contemporary influences on this collection include Aaron Smith’s Primer, Stacey Waite’s Butch Geography, and Tracy K. Smith’s The Body's Question. Nights in The City Beautiful merges lyricism with narrative, the ethereal with the physical. It is a novella in verse that delves into the boundaries of sexuality, love, and intimacy.
