Having a steady poetic style, Xu Xu’s poetic creation spans across the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions throughout his whole life. Xu Xu as a maverick maintained a certain distance from that era for a long time. Xu’s choice of self-marginalization made his new poems different from the customary features of contemporaneity. Compared with the new modernist poems of the 1930s, Xu Xu developed a new poetic theme through solitary  meditation. He maintained a lifelong belief in the musicality of new poems and devoted himself to the exploration and experimentation of its musical forms,  incorporating the freedom to include musical melodies.
