World Poetry Day is commemorated on March 21. This day was declared by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 1999. The purpose of the day is to promote the reading, writing, publishing and teaching of poetry throughout the world and, as the UNESCO session declaring the day says, to "give fresh recognition and impetus to national, regional and international poetry movements."

To mark this year’s World Poetry Day, UNESCO will pay tribute to Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), who was also a Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature. Nothingandall associates to this homage and publishes more poems by this famous author.
