World Poetry Day

About World Poetry Day

UNESCO proclaimed this date back in 1999.

On 21st March, World Poetry Day is celebrated every year to recognise the unique ability to make poetry and encourage people who are creative enough to capture life poetically.

World Poetry Day gives us a chance to revisit a favourite poem from childhood, exorcise a ghost from a school lesson or dive into some contemporary works.
