If you don’t feel ‘full’ enough with the mental nutrition you can get within HKBU, if you are not satisfied with seminars and workshops related to culture so far, I strongly recommend you to follow the news of the Chinese Civilization Centre at CityU. Most lectures are open to public including students from other Universities.
There are varieties of on campus lectures and workshops by visiting professionals this semester. You may find some specific topics that interest you via this link (http://www.cciv.cityu.edu.hk/content.php?p=all&type=all). What’s more, the website also provides you with the archived video clips of past events.
In terms of poetry, there is also one relevant lecture this year: A Visit to the Footprints of Poets in Tang Dynasty (in Putonghua), from 16:00 to 17:50 on 28 Nov. The introduction of the Japanese lecturer can be found at http://www.cciv.cityu.edu.hk/content.php?p=info&id=seiichi_uchida.
In addition, according to my experience, you’d better research a bit about those lecturers. What’s more important, remember to get there earlier than the proposed start time of every event. The reason is, as far as I know, the centre usually doesn’t offer the service of seat reservation in advance.
As a ‘neighbor’, why not go to CityU to share the learning resource and tell your friends at CityU some good lectures at HKBU?

If you love literature, or if you are a big fan of certain writer, I bet you would not like to miss a good chance to get close to literature masters. The program I’d like to promote is International Writer Workshop. There are plenty of public and on campus activities of Visiting Writers during this October and November. You may find more details on the activity list via this link (http://iww.hkbu.edu.hk/index.php?fl=activities_vw_2012),posters and etc.
In terms of gaining more knowledge of poetry, to compare works by poets from different countries would be a smart choice. Here I give you the list of poets among the visiting writers this year:
Ouyang Jianghe (Mainland China, 1956 -)
Nguyen Phan Que Mai (Vietnam, 1973- )
Meena Kandasamy (India, 1984 – )
In addition, you’d better research a bit about those visiting writers through the brief introduction after your decision of enrollment. Of course, you might have already known that, the best way is to borrow their publications from the library to go through the works to “know” them better.
Let’s take action and dive into the deep-sea called “literature”!
I believe that these activities deserve to be taken a glance at. Later I’ll keep an eye on the news of these activities and might share my experience enrolling in the Workshop of Fiction Writing last semester.
