To mark the World Poetry Day Dhivehi Bahuge Academy in collaboration with Indian Cultural Center, National Library of Maldives and Writer’s Guild of Maldives hosted an event on 21st March 2022 at Izzudheen School Hall. Poetry is a form of language that is understood by all, even if one doesn’t speak the language hence, many poets came together and recited poems in 7 different languages. Writer’s Guilds annual magazine ‘lhenveriyaa 6’ was launched along with a
ebook ‘Theyhatti’ by Hassan Manik. It was a successful event to spread awareness of poetry to general public.

Best Illustrated books of 2021
IT FELL FROM THE SKY
Written and illustrated by Terry Fan and Eric Fan
Step right up and gaze upon the Fan brothers’ latest surreal world, featuring a cast of stylish insects, fitted with fanciful hats, as the marvel at the sight of an unfamiliar orb. Blackand-white graphite drawings, brilliant pops of color and a fiendishly expressive spider, all scrupulously rendered, convey the feel of a silent
film.

International Workers’ Day
The connection between May Day and labor rights began in the United States. During the 19th century, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, thousands of men, women and children were dying every year from poor working conditions and long hours. In an attempt to end these inhumane conditions, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (which would later become the American Federation of Labor, or AFL) held a convention in Chicago in 1884. The FOTLU proclaimed “eight hours shall constitute a legal day’s labor from and after May 1, 1886.”
The following year the Knights of Labor—then America’s largest labor organizationbacked the proclamation as both groups encouraged workers to strike and demonstrate. On May 1, 1886, more than 300,000 workers (40,000 in Chicago alone) from 13,000 businesses walked out of their jobs across the country. In the following days, more workers joined and the number of strikers grew to almost 100,000. Today, May Day is an official holiday in 66 countries and unofficially celebrated in many more, but ironically it is rarely recognized in the country where it began, the United States of America.

I like the little poems That hide in little books, Waiting for little snatches In little, cozy nooks They mind me of the robins, With fragrant whiffs of song, Far dearer than Beethoven,— But that is very wrong! Perhaps if life in ordered Continuance would run, Not now a bit of shadow And now a bit of sun,— Perhaps I might, if living Were epic-long and wide, Care less for little poems In little books that hide.
