It is the first time this annual cultural event will take place in the citadel, which is a UNESCO World Heritage of Vietnam, after 18 years being held at Van Mieu (Temple of Literature) and three years of hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Vietnam Poetry Day 2023 was held under the theme ‘Nhip dieu moi’ (New Rhythm) with a hope that life will return with a "new rhythm, momentum and confidence".
It is expected to open on the occasion of the new year's full moon celebration which falls on January 15 of the Lunar calendar or February 5, 2023, with more events to be organised in new and attractive ways, organisers announced at a recent press conference.
Within the framework of the day, diverse activities such as a seminar hosted, poem recitals, and talk shows about poetry were held./.
