Celebration of World Poetry Day at UNESCO [World]:
On the occasion of World Poetry Day, celebrated on March 21, UNESCO will pay tribute to Hungarian poet Attila Jozsef (1905-1937). The Day will also be marked by the proclamation of the laureate of the Golden Crown of the Struga Poetry Evenings, American poet William Stanley Merwin. The name of the laureate of the Bridges of Struga prize will also be announced during the ceremony (7 p.m. Room XI).
Attila Jozsef published numerous collections of poetry and is considered to be one of Hungary’s greatest poets. The Hungarian-born writer and journalist Francois Fejto, who was a close friend of the poet, will pay tribute to Attila Jozsef and give a reading of his verse. An exhibition on Attila Jozsef’s life and work will be on show at UNESCO from March 30 to April 7 (Salle des Pas Perdus).
