Ravaging COVID-19 and Sandy R.S. Chen’s Science Poems Reviewed from the Chinese Malaysian Perspective



Author(s): Yok-Man Khei

Abstract:

While COVID-19 is raging, four science poems written years before the outbreak of the pandemic by the Taiwanese poet Sandy Ruey-shan Chen (???) are reviewed in this paper in light of Critical Discourse Analysis to expose hidden or unknown connections and causes as well as intervention within the lines. Besides this framework, the poems are factually looked into from the perspective of a Chinese Malaysian with Taiwan experience to demonstrate pluralistic vision of Chinese descendants speaking the same language from diverse contexts since the discussions are thought to be one of insightfulness during this pandemic-rampant period.


Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis, Modern Chinese Poetry, Science Poem, Taiwanese Haiku
