Dawn H Li

Dawn Li (Renhui) is an entrepreneur, poet, and educator. Having lived and worked extensively both in the US and China, she has embraced a life philosophy that centers on the human ideals of collaboration and collective advancement. Many of those experiences are chronicled in her poetry collection, "Song of a Lotus Leaf", published in early 2020 by Precocity Press. Her doctorate dissertation on T. S. Eliot reveals insights hidden in his modern poetic masterpieces through the perspective of death and enlightenment during a cultural crisis. Seeing poetry as a powerful healing tool, she organized like-minded poets on allpoetry.com and beyond to contribute to the creation of healing poems, which became this poetic medicine project in support of our fight against Covid-19. The result of the project is a poetry anthology entitled "Poetic Medicine in the Time of Pandemic: A Collection of Poems from Around the World." Dawn is the head of a data analytics firm and has taught college level courses from culture to computer science. She holds a doctorate in American Literature and a master’s in Information Technology from George Washington University.
