戴小栋的诗华丽而紧张，具有音乐般华美而质朴的情感，充满了既古典又现代的感伤气质，叙事自然，体验深沉。作为出生于20世纪60年代的已近"不惑"之年的诗人，他保持了对感情、人生以及艺术的完整和近乎孩童般纯洁的理想以及体验方式。(The poems written by Dai Xiaodong are characterized by flowery language and intense rhythms, music-like gorgeous yet rustic emotions, classic yet modern quality of sentimentality, natural narrations and deep experience. As a poet born in the 1960s and now in his late 30s approaching the "age of reason", the author still maintains integrated and almost child-like pure ideals of and approaches to experience feelings, life and arts. )
