Lien Chao (poet and author) reads from her latest collection of bilingual poetry Salt in My Life  published by Mawenzi House Publishers in December 2019.

Lien shares the process of creating poetry as a spiritual quest for inner peace.   Bilingual poetry in English and Chinese broadens cultural sharing and encourages inter-art collaborations among fellow Asian Canadian artists in joint projects.   

Lien talks about the spiritual quest of the poet with York University Professor of Humanities, Leslie Sanders.

This event is part of TPL's Asian Heritage series.
