Discussion with Xi Chuan / Reading by Mang Ke and Xi Chuan

Hi, MCLC–

As the last event of this year’s International Poetry Nights in Hong Kong “Break Out: Reading & Dialogue” Series, Chinese poets Mang Ke 芒克 and Xi Chuan 西川 gave readings, followed by a discussion between Xi Chuan and me, covering topics from the Chinese classics to world literature to poetry and art and the creative process. The readings were in Mandarin, with Chinese and English text (translations by Jonathan Stalling and Huang Yibing and by me), and the discussion was in Mandarin. The hour-and-a-half-long event can be viewed on youtube, here:
