Let’s celebrate National Poetry Day (6 Oct 2022).

This year’s theme is ‘the environment’. Read a poem, write a poem, share a poem with friends and family. Immerse yourself in poetry and just enjoy it!

Why is poetry important?

“Finding a complicity with how you feel, expressed more elegantly than you could ever express yourself, can be the most helpful way of making sense of your emotions and helping you to process them.”

William Seighart, founder of National Poetry Day

National Poetry Day is the annual mass celebration on the first Thursday of October that encourages everyone to make, experience and share poetry with family and friends.
