In 1999, the General Conference of UNESCO proclaimed March 21 as World Poetry Day (WPD). The Institució de les Lletres Catalanes and the Catalan Federation of Unesco Associations and Clubs are promoting this celebration with the choice of a poet and his poem for the occasion. In the seventeenth edition of the DMP, the ILC has chosen the poem “m’he estimat molt la vida” by Vicent Andrés Estellés, whose birth centenary we commemorate this year.
This year the Foundation has chosen a poetic prose by J. V. Foix of Gertrudis, his first book. Here you can read it.
