Sophea Heang
Sophea Heang is a second-generation Cambodian-Canadian poet. She's currently working on her first book, a memoir, that might be titled, "Remember Me In Stillness". Sophea is exploring the ' inter-generational genocide experience of Cambodian-Canadians who arrived in Canada in the 1980s through performing spoken word and writing prose and poetry.
Engaging in inter-arts and communing with nature inspires Sophea to keep exploring and discovering human resilience and creativity.
