The “Line & Verse: An Exploration of Visual Arts and Poetry, between Canada and Taiwan” Exhibition features works on paper by 21 Canadian artists and 21 Taiwanese artists. The Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library will host their first Canada exhibition.

This project was initiated by artists Carlina Chen (Canada) and Hsieh, Chi-Chang (Taiwan), who share a mutual interest in the intersection of poetry and the visual arts and the fostering of a cultural conversation. In the fall of 2016, one poem from each of three Canadian poets, Anne Carson, Patrick Lane and Claire Caldwell, was selected; and three works were chosen from two contemporary Taiwanese poets, Yu, Kwang-Chung and Wang, Feng-Hsiang.
