The US Cultural Attaché A J Jagelski underlined the importance of art and poetry as important outlets for people to express themselves peacefully while speaking at the 'American Poetry Mushaira' earlier here on Thursday. In honour of National Poetry Month, 'The Dawn of Freedom' poetry contest included the participation of approximately 60 young students from local schools and highlighted how poetry can unite different cultures. The event showcased the work of American poets as well as original poetry by the participating students.

"Words can be especially powerful - particularly when they are used to further peace, tolerance, and justice," the Cultural Attaché said.-PR
