World Poetry Day!

In 1999, UNESCO named March 21 World Poetry Day. Since then, it has been celebrated every year and recognized by those who value poetry in their lives or acknowledge its importance in the history of the world. The UNESCO website states that “poetry speaks to our common humanity and our shared values, transforming the simplest of poems into a powerful catalyst for dialogue and peace.” While World Poetry Day was last week, we can still take time today to bask in this genre of literature and understand more about how it affects us all.
