As Executive Director of the Foundation for Scholarly Exchange (Fulbright Taiwan), I oversee a program that brings over 300 Americans to Taiwan every year. Among them are distinguished teachers and scholars of the Fulbright-Hays Summer Seminar, conducted in June 2023. These poems are the artistic outcome of Laurence Musgrove‘s participation in the program.

 

In his collection of Taiwan-inspired poems, Laurence Musgrove captures the beauty of Ihla Formosa and the wonder of unfamiliar sights and sounds in unexpected encounters. This is the beauty of Taiwan – hot-weathered and warm-hearted – resplendent of mountains and waters, at once teeming with commuters and teeming with tropical flora and fauna. Musgrove shares his discovery of this wondrous island in ways that every newcomer will recognize, and every traveler will want to experience for themselves. His poems are bite-sized narratives of confusion, delight, immersion, and conversion – to the beauty and adventure of exploration in a place long unknown.

In The Dogs of Alishan and Other Poems from Taiwan, Laurence Musgrove traces his Fulbright-Hays experience in Taiwan during the summer of 2023.  These poems, accompanied by extensive notes on the history, geography, politics, and culture of Taiwan, detail his journeys on the island with 15 other scholars from across the United States.  In these easily accessible poems, Musgrove portrays new discoveries about himself while also celebrating the diverse range of insights and joys available on this beautiful island nation.

Laurence Musgrove is a Fulbright-Hays Taiwan Seminar Scholar and teaches literature, composition, and creative writing from a Buddhist perspective at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas.  His poetry appears in a wide range of journals in the U.S. and his three books Local Bird, The Bluebonnet Sutras, and A Stranger’s Heart, all from Lamar University Literary Press.
