NANNING, China, Nov 13 (Bernama-AsiaNet) —
On November 9, the Second Nanning International Poetry Week, co-hosted by Poetry Journal of the China Writers Association and the Publicity Department of the Nanning Municipal Party Committee, officially opened. Poets from both China and abroad gather to celebrate poetry and paint a poetic picture of Nanning, the Green City.
As one of the key events of the 2nd China-ASEAN (Nanning) Cultural Month, the 2nd Nanning International Poetry Week is themed “Let Poetry Illuminate the Green City.” With poetry as a medium and dreams as a driving force, the event opens a window for international cultural exchange and builds a bridge to the “poetry and the distant horizons.” Over 70 poets from various provinces and regions in China, as well as from countries including Colombia, Singapore, gather in Nanning to meet in the name of poetry, collectively contributing to the chapter of cultural exchange.
