The Fall

World Poetry Day

Today it is World Poetry Day. World Poetry Day was started by Unesco in 1999. The concept behind the day is to support “the oral tradition of poetry recitals” in other words Spoken Word poetry. Rather than consigning spoken word poetry to the annals of history, World Poetry Day celebrates poetry in all its forms including literary and oral. Today champions poetry. Today is a day to celebrate the beauty of poetry but especially spoken word, be it a live recital or recorded.
