David Lai Workshop — David Lai — Taipei, Taiwan

“It breaks the stereotype that poetry anthologies should be poetic, elegant, or less real than real life. Poetry is crystallized from words and is the seed of imagination; there should not be any limitation to the present. The poet [behind the anthology], Huang An-Tsu, once said ‘poetry is life,’ hoping to bring out the musicality of the poetry anthology and in doing so bring a random and unlimited style of work to his audience.”

David Lai is Director of David Lai Workshop. Based in Taipei, Taiwan, Lai has channeled his passion for music and image into album packaging design, book design, and visual design for performing arts. David Lai Workshop is a Golden Pin Design Award 2016 Design Mark recipient, among other awards.
