World Poetry Day | March 21, 2020

1080x1080

To commemorate the International Day of Poetry (March 21), the UFP Libraries transferred their Poetry Week to a safer living space.

During this week we celebrate poetry because “Poetry is knowledge, salvation, power, abandonment. Operation capable of changing the world, poetic activity is revolutionary in nature: spiritual exercise, it is a method of inner liberation. Poetry reveals this world; and create another one ” (Octávio Paz, “Poesia e Poema” in O arco e a Lira)
