The Poet’s Day

 

 

 


Either write some poetry yourself or read the lovely writings of poets from many times, including modern poets and Ancient Greeks, to discover your inner poet.

Poetry… Everybody uses the term frequently, and none of us has ever avoided writing some while we were younger. A portfolio of our work was accessible to make us feel bad or proud, regardless of whether the poetry was inspired by hormone-fueled teenage angst or the dictates of our teachers at school. In honour of this art form, Poetry Day, we’ve provided all the information you need to know below.

Find out when Poetry Day occurs.


The main goal of Poetry Day is to honour the magnificent art form of poetry. It’s about accepting, appreciating, and even producing poetry. It doesn’t matter if you like to be the creative one or if you would rather read poetry written by well-known authors.
Its goal is to honour this literary genre in every manner. After all, becoming a poet does not require a degree!

However, the question of what poetry is must be asked. It seems to come in a plethora of kinds, yet it’s the one thing that is almost universal in a world with thousands of cultures and hundreds of countries. So let’s examine what poetry is, shall we?

Poetry’s past

Poetry, to put it simply, is a type of writing that goes beyond the simple definition of words by utilising the rhythmic and artistic aspects of the language together with similes and metaphors.

Poetry has a long history; it may be found written down as early as the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, and even before then, it was utilised for endless millennia as a memetic means of disseminating myths and stories across many societies. Philosophers have been grappling with the topic of what poetry is for a very long time. Aristotle attempted to answer this question in his work Poetics.

He could only cover a small percentage of poetry’s definition and applications in comedy, drama, music, and rhetoric.

The well-known historian grew up in Stratford-upon-Avon, an English town in south Warwickshire that bears the name of the Avon River.

Of course, this was William Shakespeare, the guy who would be referred to as “The Bard.” Because it is widely held that his body of work is the best example of the genre, poetry studies are taught at educational institutions across the globe.

Of course, this was William Shakespeare, the guy who would later be referred to as “The Bard.” Many people view his corpus of work as the ultimate apex of the art and it serves as the basis for poetry studies in colleges all over the world.

Poetry Day’s past


William Sieghart established Poetry Day in 1994.


He is a British publisher, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He founded the Forward Prizes for Poetry as well. This important annual poetry prize event is held once a year. About the event, he said the following:

“It’s past time that the millions of talented poets who write poetry around the globe were given credit for their work. When they read out loud from their work, they have nothing to be embarrassed of. In public places like the bar, the street, the school and the bus on their way to work, I want people to read poetry.

Is it not the case that many talented individuals lack confidence in their ability to express themselves poetically or don’t think they have a voice?

Let’s urge everyone to follow suit!
