The Poetry Encyclopedia is one of the most significant cultural projects that is aimed at promoting the cultural landscape in Abu Dhabi. It allows the research, documentation, and reproduction of the rich heritage of Arab culture to ensure a sustainable legacy for future generations and is considered a significant achievement in view of its literary, poetic, and cultural value.
The Poetry Encyclopedia is the result of more than 20 years of research since 1995 when the decision was taken to establish it. The year 1998 witnessed the first release of the encyclopedia, of which the current version was later relaunched.
