Praise for Fang Xin

  • "他的語言清晰而又精準，有如上好的法文譯作。在他的詩中，處處可見一種純熟致密的思考精神，不斷的在為他每首詩作追尋並設計一種新的風格或是新的創作途徑。同時他的意象都富有活生生的感性，猶如在現代藝術中的意境."

    — 中國現代文學選集

  • “His language, lucid and precise, reminds one of superior translation from French prose. Present everywhere in his poetry is a skillfully calculating intellect which is ever busy designing a new style or approach for every poem he writes. But the images are vividly sensuous after the manner of modern painting."

    — Anthology of Contemporary Chinese Literature

  • “能在結構上尋求整體的效果，並表現出可觀的綜合與秩序感.”

    — 余光中

  • “In Fang's poetry, there's a sense of holistic effect, plus a rather impressive sense of order and synthesis."

    — Yu Kwang-chung, poet, essayist and educator

  • “絕版書不一定只有古書，今人方莘的詩集《膜拜》，大學時代有一本，翻破了，念脫了頁，每天夾來夾去擠上學的公車，結果終於掉了.”

    — 三毛

  • “Out-of-print books are not all written by ancient writers. In college, I had a copy of 'Mo Bai', a collection of poetry by Fang Xin, well -worn with loose pages. I carried it with me every day to and from school on the bus, it ended up getting lost.”

    — ECHO, writer

  • “方莘創作以詩為主，兼及翻譯與詩劇，詩作結構嚴謹，極富創意與實驗性.”

    — 劉正偉

  • “Fang works mainly in poetry...his poetry has very tight structure and full of innovative and experimental touches.”

    — Liu Zheng-wei, literary critic
