International Poetry Nights in Hong Kong (IPNHK) is an award-winning biennial poetry festival established by renowned contemporary Chinese poet Bei Dao. Since its debut in 2009 in Hong Kong, IPNHK has become the most influential series of international poetry events in the sinophone area, delivering internationally acclaimed poets’ thoughts and ideas about poetry to the Chinese-speaking worlds. Following its enormous success in the last decade, IPNHK celebrated its 10th anniversary and the 30th anniversary of Noise Asia in 2019. Gathering more than 50 world-renowned poets, musicians, translators and scholars, IPNHK 2019 presented an extravaganza of poetry and music events with the theme “Speech and Silence” in Hong Kong as well as in 10 different cities in China. IPNHK activities were free and open to the public. Please follow our Website, Facebook, Instagram, WeChat: IPN-HK, and Twitter!
