白靈是個科技人,目前執教於國立台北科技大學,可是他卻是個出色的詩人。白靈在人文學養方面的觀照與涵詠,豐實而靈透;在台灣中壯輩詩人當中,白靈的詩藝術更有他獨到且富創意的面貌,無論詩的創作、評論,都有深厚的造詣。他的詩觀是:「…筆下二三稿紙,胸中十萬燈火。」 透過他如此空靈深邃的「指點」,我們冀望能從他「十萬燈火」的閃爍光輝中「探索」出方向,「見出我們所不能見」的拓展身心的視野,庻幾增益於現代詩之創作與教學;並且在「詩教」的潛移默化中,厚植技職生的人文素養,期使他們敦厚自信的迎向一切全方位的挑戰。 Pai-lin , teaching in National Taipei University of Technology, is an outstanding poet as well as a man of technology. His perspectives and insight on literature are so solid and deep that no one can be unique and creative than him among the mid-aged poets on Taiwan. His poetical approach, such as ‘A few pieces of writing sheets project a heart of thousands of lights’, provides us a way out for modern life , and so as to broaden our mental and physical horizons and to enrich the teaching of modern poetry which, in the long run, will strengthen college students’ literary cultivation and bring them a confidence for facing future challenge.
