Poetry is all around us, especially on the 21st of March, which is World Poetry Day. This day has been celebrated since 1999 and serves as a way to promote literacy, linguistic diversity and self-expression through poetry.
This idea is embodied in this art project of the Betti Alver Museum in Jõgeva. When you are walking around the town, you are bound to run into some beautiful words penned by the poet.
