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
Tapies all appear in his pages. His style draws equally on
modernism, on Galician-Portuguese love lyrics, on Gongora and on
the Valencian metaphysical poet Ausias 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.
