Lo Fu (1928-   ), dubbed the “Wizard of Poetry”, one of the founders and editors of The Epoch Poetry Quarterly, is probably the most widely read contemporary poet between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and in other Chinese language areas. Named one of the ten major poets, he has won many important prizes, including the prestigious Dr. Sun Yat-sen Literary Prize and the Wu San-lien award. His Death in the Stone-Cell(1964), the appearance of which immediately invited a controversy of often heated discussions, won him the name as one of the most complex and powerful poets in Taiwan, with images and a language that often, in his own words, “enrage the gods and makes people aware of their petrified condition…What we see in the mirror is not the image of modern men, but their merciless destinies against which writing poetry is a form of revenge.” His later volumes continue to explore, with finger and sharper lines, the tensional condition in which he finds himself and his country condemned to separation and isolation as he and his country struggle to reclaim cultural and psychological terrains margionalized by the intrusion of alien ideologies and internecine wars. Books of poems: Spiritual River, Death in the stone-cell, Poems of Beyond, Bankless River, Songs of a Wizard, Competing Voices of lotuses, Selected Poems, The Wound of Time, The Wine-brewing Rocks, Because of Wind, The Dialectics of love, Moonlight house, Bury me in Snow, Poems of “Hidden Titles” and The Nirvana of Angels, Books of Critical Prose: The Poet’s Mirror, Selected Essays on Poetry, Echoes in Solitude, and Margin of Poetry. Several volumes have been devoted to the study of his poetry, among them, The Metamorphoses of the “Wizard of Poetry”, Lo Fu and Modern Chinese Poetry, Lo Fu: Critical Biography, The Wizard of Poetry: Biography of Lo Fu.

Lo Fu’s other crowning achievement is calligraphy. With tireless practice in recent years, he has grasped the secret of calligraphic expressivess. He is not only well versed in the Wei-pei style (style of inscriptions on tablets in the Wei Dynasty) and the Seal style of the Han Dynasty, but is especially refined in the running and cursive styles, free-reeling and relaxing, achieving new heights among his peers. His calligrahic works have been widely exhibited in Taipei, Manila, Kulal Lumper, Vancouver and New York.
