Author: Pere Gimferrer

ISBN: 1784107689
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Longlisted for the Best Translated Book Award 2020 Spain's greatest living poet, Pere Gimferrer (b.1945) has written more than thirty books spanning verse, fiction, essay, and criticism. His earliest writings appeared in Spanish. In 1970 he began publishing in Catalan, and has alternated between the two languages since (with occasional forays into French and Italian). The present collection, the first book-length publication of Gimferrer's Catalan poetry in English, brings together work from all phases of his career. His poetry is a marvel of syncretism: Billie Holiday, the medieval polymath Ramon Llull, Ezra Pound, and the artist Tàpies all appear in his pages. His style draws equally on modernism, on Galician-Portuguese love lyrics, on Góngora and on the Valencian metaphysical poet Ausiàs March. Rounding out the volume is a selection from the Dietari, an artistic diary that outlines his poetics and his sense of the artist's vocation through a series of meditations on Casanova, Octavio Paz and others.

The Poetry of Salvador Espriu
Author: D. Gareth Walters
Publisher: Tamesis Books
ISBN: 9781855661325
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : ca
Pages : 230
Book Description
Two standpoints govern the approach taken to the poetry of Salvador Espriu in this extended study of his work. First, the author explores the structural implications of symmetry and numerology, in a chronological rather than thematic survey of the poetry - a procedure that involves a consideration of how each book attains its distinctive character while having common preoccupations and stylistic traits. Secondly, he examines the tension implicit in Espriu's poetry between involvement and detachment or between the civic and the lyric.

Count Arnau
Author: Joan Maragall
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781542330282
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Versions or translations of one of Europe's most important and least known poets, Joan Maragall, an essential figure of Catalan literature. These poems begin in patriotic celebration of all things Catalonian, folklore, folk dance, song... then wrestle to embrace both Catholicism & 19th Century German philosophy. Along the way, anarchist terrorism, the Spanish American War, and the seeds of Socialism appear. But like all great poetry, Joan Maragall's work transcends its era to touch all readers who encounter it. This is the English world's first chance to encounter a large selection of Maragall's poems brought into English. It is unlikely to be the last.
