	Dialogue Through Poetry
		Poetry is indeed a language that delves deep into the human soul and expresses the mysterious meaning of existence.
		Poetry is a major cultural factor, a total language that constitutes the expression of a deep-seated desire to live with others and hence an essential instrument for bringing peoples closer together.
		Poetry always knows just when to speak and just when to be silent-just when to repeat a phrase and just when to say it only one time.

	Message by the President on the occasion of world Poetry Day (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Poetry is more than just a form of self-expression - it is also a form of cultural consciousness and a vehicle for interpersonal and intercultural dialogue.
		Poetry is, in fact, one of the most powerful ways of expressing both individual experiences, and the experiences and values of whole nations.
		The fact that March 21st was proclaimed by UNESCO as World Poetry Day as recently as 1999 is a testimony of this discovery, and I am convinced that this year's celebrations will lead to enhanced understanding of the value of poetry in furthering inter-cultural communication and mutual understanding.

	GENERAL ASSEMBLY PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE FOR WORLD POETRY DAY
		In our world of instant telecommunication, of cell phones and e-mail, one might think that poetry is an endangered species of communication. I do not think so. In my view, the need for poetry as a means to share experiences and values between cultures has only been accentuated by these modern means of communication.
		Poetry is, in fact, one of the most powerful ways of expressing both individual experiences, and the experiences and values of whole nations. It is also a way to achieve better understanding of our differences –- understanding that cultural diversity is richness, not a threat. The fact that March 21
		The virtue of a global poetry day is that it puts poetry in focus. This day may serve as an inspiration also in multilingual and culturally diverse societies, which face the difficulty of how to make poetry available to the broader public, and how to harness it to build cultural cohesion and understanding.

	World Poetry Day and Why It Matters—2003 RLG Annual Meeting
		Poetry is a medium of knowledge, stewardship, and judgment about the public goods of a democracy as well as an art of self-expression and sensuous beauty.
		And the history of public poetry activities—from state poetry days and local slams to international commemorations sponsored by federated organizations like UNESCO—is a history of institutional, organizational, and media networks that are interested in taking seriously the civic effects of poetry.
		The World Poetry Day initiative is, in fact, a promotional response to "the strong revival of interest in poetry" and the "proliferation of poetic activities" in many countries.
