The Wick Poetry center hosted their sixth annual “World Poetry Reading” on Tuesday to celebrate World Poetry Day. Many international students, faculty and staff took the stage and read different poems from all around the world. The featured readers read poems in their native languages and then read an english translation. This year’s reading was the biggest one since the end of the pandemic. TV2’s own Nuried Hurtado has more on the event and the meaning behind poetry for international students and faculty.
