POETRIES FROM THE BOOKSTORES: SOMEWHERE I BELONG

Testimonies from passionate proprietors reveal the diversity of Taiwan’s independent bookstores, all with a distinct style and flair.
在快速變遷的世界中，《書店裡的影像詩：停駐與穿越》探索台灣充滿生命力的獨立書店──這些文化、創意與思考的庇護所，見證書籍、讀者與社群之間歷久彌新的連結。

Poetries From The Bookstores: Somewhere I Belong captures, through its lens, the enduring charm of Taiwan’s old bookstores and the vibrant diversity of a new generation of bookstores and their visions for living. From urban street corners to remote mountains and coastlines, these independently run bookstores are more than places that sell books — they are spaces for cultural exchange, social dialogue, and spiritual refuge. Each bookstore is like a parallel universe, where time softens, inviting visitors to pause and rediscover themselves.
從城市街角到山巔海濱，這些個人經營的小書店不僅販售書籍，更成為文化交流、社會對話與心靈棲居的所在。透過書店主人與讀者的故事，我們見證書店成為對抗遺忘與孤獨的溫柔力量，更反映了人們如何以閱讀與生活態度，回應快速變遷的世界，尋回內在的自由與安定。每一間書店都是一個平行宇宙──在那裡，時間變得柔軟，人得以停留，重新認識自己。
