Contemporary asian Poets

2021 has been a year of loss and grief, especially in the Asian-Canadian community. Our elders have been attacked, some of our traditions upended. We have faced assaults on our culture, covertly and overtly. It it more important now than ever to recognize and celebrate Asian Canadian voices. We've compiled a list of contemporary Asian poets and their works below, and we and encourage readers to dive into other Asian voices in Canada and across the world.
