World Poetry Day gives people all over a chance to celebrate the gift of poetry. Whether a poet, a writer, or just a lover of the arts, this day is a reminder to continue to follow your passion and never give up. The day falls on March 21st and is the perfect time to recognize this important style of writing and its impact on our society and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beauty of Poetry<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Poetry creates something beautiful for its readers by sharing stories and emotions in a unique way. In history, poets have changed the trajectory of our universe. Poems have been used to call for peace during war. A poem by a famous Jewish poet, Emma Lazarus<\/a>, mentions the famous symbol of American freedom, the Statue of Liberty. The statue sits close to a former location where new immigrants used to come through known as Ellis Island. Part of the poem reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Give me your tired, your poor,<\/em>
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The art of poetry can be very therapeutic, providing a way for people to work through their feelings instead of hiding them. Poetry can also be a powerful political tool by giving space to share ideas, history, and different viewpoints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GrantWatch<\/a> acknowledges the importance of literature and the arts. And in honor of World Poetry Day, GrantWatch will be sharing five arts and culture grants today. In addition, here are three poets to check out this World Poetry Day, as well as some ideas of how to celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Look at Three Incredible Poets <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

  2. Charly Cox<\/a>: Cox is a British poet, who writes about mental health issues. She has published a book of poetry called, “She Must Be Mad”. The book speaks about her personal experiences with mental health. <\/li>
  3. Sylvia Plath<\/a>: Sylvia Plath was also an American poet, novelist, and a writer of short stories. Though she died in 1963, the spirit of her often jarring, and emotional poetry is still being taught in English classeses all over the United States.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
