Meanwhile, young poets from different parts of the country had their own playground to delight the audiences. An exhibition concerning the life and career of 40 famous war poets was organised, and publications from different publishing houses and poetry clubs were on display.
Since its debut on Nguyen Tieu (the 15th day of the first lunar month) in 2003, the Vietnam Poetry Day, the biggest poetry festival in the country, has become a national tradition, taking place in the spring of each year.
Starting out as an initiative of the Vietnam Writers' Association, the Poetry Day has been organised in many provinces and cities to honour poetry, which has been an integral part of Vietnamese culture for thousands of years.
Witnessing a number of attendees from the elderly to the babies in his mothers' arms in the early days, many people realize that, the poetry day really becomes poetry festival of the club and the public that loved poetry.
