The Poetry Encyclopedia is one of the most significant cultural projects that is aimed at promoting the cultural landscape in Abu Dhabi and positioning the UAE capital as a cultural and civilisational beacon in the Arab region and around the world.
It allows the research, documentation, and reproduction of the rich heritage of Arab culture to ensure a sustainable legacy for current and future generations.
The Poetry Encyclopedia is considered a significant achievement, whether in terms of its literary and cultural value, or the size of the project and the effort that continued for over 20 years, from 1995 when the decision was taken to establish it, to 1998 that witnessed its first release, and until March 2016 when the current version has been relaunched.
