Ámbito Cultural celebrates World Poetry Day with a verse day at Thyssen and the Botanical Gardens

There is no other celebration on the calendar. When UNESCO decided to celebrate in 1999 World Poetry Day On March 21, I was fully focused on reactivating the oral tradition of poetry recitals.

Six years have passed since the Ámbito Cultural convened the first edition of the Premio Nacional de Poesía Viva #LdeLírica, defending poetry inside and outside the book and all its convergences with the rest of art.

Compliance with the UNESCO compromise, which is also reflected in the #LdeLírica cycle, which is coordinated a year longer for these years Gonzalo Escarpa joined Ámbito Cultural y La Piscifactoría. There are two days ahead of us in which we will be able to enjoy fascinating verses in the mouth of first-line poets, such as the latest Loewe Poetry Prize winner Hugo Mujica. All this in such symbolic places of the capital as the Botanical Garden and the Thyssen Museum.

These are all the activities planned for this poetry festival:

Come March 20th

7:30 p.m.: The celebration of World Poetry Day continues with an extraordinary edition of #LdeLírica, which returns to Gonzalo Escarpa with singer-songwriter Amancio Prada.
