Poetry lovers, rejoice! The 1st International Youth Poetry Festival’s academic dialogue kicked off this week, blending verses from Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, Iran, and China. Themes like \"Experience of life, colors of love and hope\" and \"Eternal is new, writing a poem is to innovate\" are sparking cross-cultural convos that even Taylor Swift might swipe right on.
Hosted by the China Writers Association and the CPC Zhenjiang Provincial Committee’s Publicity Department, the event is split between Hangzhou—a city straight out of a watercolor painting —and Beijing, running through July 24. Think workshops, readings, and collabs that meld tradition with modern flair.
Why care? Because poetry isn’t just Shakespearean sonnets anymore. This festival’s proving it’s a universal language for Gen Z to tackle big feels: hope, cultural identity, and innovation. Plus, it’s a vibe check on how BRICS+ nations are building bridges, one stanza at a time.
