As a survivor of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, Buddhist monk Ly Van Aggadipo wrote poetry to help heal from the tragedy and pain he witnessed. The poems were discovered on the day of Ly Van’s death in 2008, and they are now being released as a book, O! Maha Mount Dangrek. A number of local individuals and organizations from Lowell, Massachusetts have collaborated to produce the book, including Light of Cambodian Children, Cambodian Expressions and Glory Buddhist Temple. The book will be celebrated on a cross-country tour stopping at fourteen locations with significant Cambodian American populations.
