Vietnamese Poetry Day 2014 to celebrate anniversary
The
Vietnam Writers’ Association has announced the programme for this year’s
poetry day under the theme “Nation’s Spring – From Dien Bien to Truong
Sa”.
The event aims to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory (1954-2014) and affirm national sovereignty.
It expects to gather poetry lovers, including more than 80 poets who
are members of the Association from seven provinces and cities, and six
universities across the country, as well as 28 poetry clubs from Hanoi.
The organising board sent documents to ask provinces and cities
to continue organising Vietnamese poetry day in their localities.
After the day, a delegation of artists from the Alliance of Arts and
Literature Associations of Vietnam will pay a visit to Dien Bien and
organise a poetry festival on March 13th to mark the 60th anniversary of
the first gunshot starting the Dien Bien Phu campaign.-VNA
