World Poetry Day was adopted as 21 March by UNESCO in 1999. It is an invitation to reflect on the power of language and the full development of each person’s creative abilities. The poetry is able to capture the creative spirit of the human mind.
The Fundació J. V. Foix celebrates it by publishing a poem of J. V. Foix in the web.

SI DE MATÍ CAÇAVA…, Desa aquests llibres al calaix de baix

In the 1920s a group of Occitanists headed by editor Josep Aladern and made up of young men such as publicist Josep Carbonell and poet J. V. Foix among others, defended the idea of Catalan Countries integrated in Occitania.

The article by Arnau González i Vilalta has appeared in El Temps magazine of March the 8th.

In the new digital cultural magazine Hänsel i Gretel , Arnau Puig publishes a text where he discusses the final line of J. V. Foix‘s poem «El difícil encontre», included in the book On he deixat les claus… and dated at Calella de Palafrugell in June 1939.
