On 21 March, we celebrate World Poetry Day, a tribute to the power of words, rhythm, and emotion, a timeless art form that transcends cultures and languages. Poetry has the ability to inspire, heal, and unite, offering solace to the soul and a window into the human experience.

Among the many poetic voices, John Bradburne stands out as a poet of deep spirituality, contemplation, and mysticism. His verses capture the beauty of nature, the complexities of faith, and the profound connection between the divine and the everyday.

As we honour World Poetry Day, let's reflect on the power of poetry to shape our perspectives, ignite our faith, and bring us closer to the truth. Let us celebrate the words of John Bradburne, a poet whose life and verses continue to inspire many.

"The greatest poetry is lived
Rather than written, some may say."

By John Bradburne, The Greatest Poetry (1975)

Happy World Poetry Day! May words continue to uplift and guide us on our journey.
