Celebrating World Poetry Day: From Quizzes to Cinema and NPR's Love for Poetry

World Poetry Day is celebrated annually on March 21 to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and promote the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry. This year's theme is "Always be a poet, even in prose," emphasizing the importance of creativity and beauty in all forms of writing. People celebrate the day through various events, such as poetry readings and performances, and can support poets and poetry organizations through book purchases and donations. UNESCO encourages the use of hashtags #WorldPoetryDay and #Poetryforlife to highlight the power of poetry in difficult times.
