"Tree of Poetry"


    In celebrating World Poetry Day, March 21, UNESCO recognizes the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind. A decision to proclaim 21 March as World Poetry Day was adopted during UNESCO’s 30th session held in Paris in 1999. " In today’s world there are unfulfilled aesthetic needs. Poetry can meet this need if its social role of interpersonal communication is recognized and it continues to be the means of arousing and expressing awareness ";- it reads in the decision. In celebration of this beautiful day the Yerevan City Central Library organized so called "Decoration of Poetry Tree Day". The walkers-by were offered to write an extract from their favorite poem on paper leaves and to hung it on the "tree of poetry". The experience was unique, interesting and exciting for a number of people, who were pretty articulate in their appreciation. Meanwhile the participants had the opportunity to listen to some of the best examples of Armenian Poetry recited by Armenian actors and performers.
