The Cambodian Refugee Poetry Book & Smot is launching a National Touring and Community Readings of the “O! Maha Mount Dangrek” across America in the month of April 2010 featuring an editor/ publisher, Samkhann C. Khoeun, and also two young exceptionally gifted artists from Cambodia, Ms. Srey Peov Phoeun and Mr. Sinat Nhok, who are both students of the Cambodian Living Arts, a project of the Marion Institute.
The poems are testaments to the hardship and ugliness of war, as well as the resilience of the Cambodian refugees who have struggled for the past thirty years to find peace in their hearts, justice for those lost, and healing for the Cambodian survivors.
The Cambodian Association of Illinois is proud host this event, and invites you to join us. Admittance is free. Books and CD's will be available for purchase.
