World Poetry Day is celebrated every year on March 21, celebrating a linguistic E×ρréššion that people from all cultures can identify with. Poetry can be found in the history of every nation, and brings us together under shared values and common humanity. The most basic of poems have the power to stir dialogue.
The day was proposed and adopted by UNESCO in 1999, on the occasion of its 30th General Conference held in Paris to “give fresh recognition and impetus to national, regional and international poetry movements.” The organization hoped to inspire the celebration of poetry all over the world, preserve endangered languages, and stimulate poetic E×ρréššion through this day. Poets, both past and present, are honored, and oral traditions of reciting poetry are revived. Reading, writing, and teaching poetry are encouraged, and converged with other mediums of E×ρréššion such as music, dance, painting, and more.
Why world poetry is important?
Poems are for everyone
Sometimes people are hesitant to try out poetry, thinking it can be hard to understand. But have no fear — there’s a poem out there for you! Thinking about simplifying your life and taking some time to relax?
Poetry is all around Us
Are you a big fan of music? Then you’re a secret poetry fan.The cadence and rhythms of poetry are just like those of your favorite pop song or rap. With a few extra beats and melodies behind them, songs convey emotional messages and meanings, just like poetry. They even employ a lot of the same writing devices like metaphors and alliteration.
▪️It starts a new Generation of Poetry Lovers
On World Poetry Day, teachers and classrooms around the world take time to celebrate poems and poets and get their students excited about the writing style. Poetry competitions, poetry slams, and readings are held to let new and emerging poets try out their work and showcase their talents.
