Poetry is neglected in Guyana

Dear Editor,

I learnt incidentally on March 26, that March 21, 2018 was designated World Poetry Day by the United Nations.

I am happy about this and I congratulate this government and the past government for the strong support given to poetry to the extent that it is almost breathing its last breath.

Thank you very much Mr Petamber Persaud and Dr Ian McDonald for being voices in favour of poetry in the vast wilderness of neglect in Guyana.

Yours faithfully,

Krishna Nand Prasad
