Tomorrow is World Poetry Day! Why world poetry day? Poetry is universal, it crosses cultures and generations and reminds us of our shared humanity. The first WPD was declared in 1999 by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) to be a holiday, “with the aim of supporting linguistic diversity through poetic expression and increasing the opportunity for endangered languages to be heard.” UNESCO recognized that poetry is able to “capture the creative spirit of the human mind.” Today is a day where we should not only learn about poetry and recognize its importance, but also encourage ourselves and others to appreciate poetry more, for example, by teaching it, sharing it, and bringing it into the public eye.

You might be familiar with poets that you’ve learned about in school, like Walt Whitman, Edgar Allen Poe, ee cummings, Sylvia Plath, and Maya Angelou. But what about the ones you haven’t learned about in school? What about poets who aren’t in traditional English syllabi? There’s a whole world of poets out there, and it’s easier than ever to read their work.

Here are some poets to check out:

I received a great service from Thesis Editor in proofreading and formatting for my master’s thesis. I personally like to thank Dr Judith Jackson-Pomeroy who was amazing in assisting me from the first call I made to thesis editor enquiring about the service they provide until the submission of my project. She took personal care in the service provided, it was professional and responded quickly to all my queries throughout, which gave me peace of mind and direction at such an intense moment of finalising my dissertation. The strict deadline with thesis editor got me working hard - around the clock, which was all worth it. I highly recommend thesis editor to anyone who is looking for proofreading and formatting service for their thesis - look no further!
