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 eighteenth edition of the DMP, the ILC has chosen the poem “Desamor” by Josep M. Llompart, whose birth centenary we commemorate this year.

This year the Foundation has chosen the poem by J. V. Foix “Dèiem: La Nit!” of On he deixat les claus…, dedicated to Carles Riba. Here you can read it.
