On Mother Tongues and Translingual Poetics: Yilin Wang and Guests

On Sunday, April 28th at 2pm, join Massy Arts, Massy Books and Invisible Publishing in celebrating the launch of The Lantern and the Night Moths by Yilin Wang, with guests Penny So, Karla Comanda, and Dominique Bernier-Cormier.

In The Lantern and the Night Moths, Chinese Canadian poet-translator Yilin Wang has selected and translated poems by five of China’s most innovative modern and contemporary poets: Fei Ming, Qiu Jin, Zhang Qiaohui, Xiao Xi, and Dai Wangshu. Their poetry expands and subverts the long lineage of Classical Chinese poetry that precedes them.

We would like to acknowledge the support of the League of Canadian Poets and the Canada Council for the Arts. This project has also been made possible by the Government of Canada. Ce projet a été rendu possible grâce au gouvernement du Canada
