National Poetry Day was founded in 1994 by William Sieghart,
and has engaged millions of people across the country reading, writing and
listening to poetry. The annual mass celebration of poetry and all things
poetical, marked its 21st birthday on Thursday 8th October 2015.
‘Light’ was the 2015 theme for National Poetry Day. To mark this on Thursday
8th October 2015, the LRC Team put up posters around the college centred on the
theme of ‘Light’ to brighten everyone’s day.
