SUMMARY:Poetry Night - Leilei Chen & Chro Zand
DESCRIPTION:Facebook: Location: Facebook Live  \nDuring our HAPPENING: Poetry Nights we celebrate poets who\, among other things\, identify as newcomers\, refugees\, or immigrants. Despite the fact that poetry inhabits many geographical locations and speaks in different accents and languages\, Literature continues to be the most exclusive of arts and the most resistant against outsiders. An immigrant’s linguistic\, cultural\, and political accents mark them as alien\, and hence\, undesirable company or colleague among fellow writers and poets. \n  \nAbout the poets:  \nLeilei Chen \nLeilei Chen 莫譯 (pronounced as muo-yee meaning “no translation”) lectures in the Department of English and Film Studies of the University of Alberta. She authors Re-orienting China: Travel Writing and Cross-cultural Understanding. She published the Mandarin versions of Margaret Laurence’s short stories\, the traditional and simplified Chinese versions of Nationalism: A Very Short Introduction. She translates contemporary Chinese ecological writing\, women’s writings\, and poetry. Her translation of poet MA Hui (马辉)\, I Have Forsaken Heaven and Earth\, but Never Forsaken You\, is a Frontenac House 2023 Quartet book. \n Social media handles:  \n\n instagram: leileichenleilei\n Facebook: Leilei Chen MoYi\n TikTok: @leilei.chenmoyi\n X: @leileichenlei\n\nChro Zand  \nChro Zand is a Kurdish Canadian freelance writer who currently lives in  Toronto.

She is the founder of Shab-e She’r (Poetry Night)\, Canada’s most diverse and brave poetry open mic (inception 2012). It is a brave space that bridges the gap between communities of poets from different ethnicities\, nationalities\, religions (or lack thereof)\, ages\, genders\, sexual orientations\, abilities\, poetic styles\, voices\, and visions. Bänoo is the co-editor of the poetry anthology: Woman\, Life\, Freedom: Poems for the Iranian Revolution.
