The word Magtymguly sounds in the very heart of Europe – a poetic challenge in Brussels
The Embassy of Turkmenistan in Brussels launched a poetry challenge in honor of the 300th anniversary of Magtymguly, inviting local residents of different nationalities, as well as tourists to read the poem "Turkmenistan" ("The Future of Turkmenistan").
It happened in the busiest places of the Belgian capital, and the participants of the action, even the youngest, showed sincere interest in the work of the Turkmen poet and his personality. They read out the lines of one of his most famous works in English and French.
Some did it with such soulful penetration that I want to give them an audience award for it! And it turns out that Magtymguly's poetry and his syllable sound very expressive in French.
World Poetry Day is celebrated annually on March 21. Why not pick up the idea of such a challenge with the name of the Turkmen genius and implement it in different countries and formats for the spring poetry festival coinciding with the International Novruz Day?
