March 21 marks World Poetry Day. This day was declared by UNESCO in 1999 to promote poetry throughout the world.
On the United Nation website it states:
'In celebrating World Poetry Day, UNESCO recognizes the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind'
The beauty of poetry is the playful use of language expressed in a myriad of forms. These are some of the gorgeous new poetry books available in the library.
