Poètica

What is poetry? How to read it? Where to find it? Margarit has reflected and poured into this book her point of view and her experience as a poet and as a reader and translator of poetry. Some of these reflections are written years ago, such as the New Letters to a Young Poet, but others are written recently, with the wisdom of the years. A magnificent selection of commented and contextualized poems; the relationship between his poems and the city of Barcelona; texts on the poetry of Joan Maragall, Gabriel Ferrater, Miquel Martí i Pol, Joan Vinyoli, Thomas Hardy and Elizabeth Bishop... always with the direct and uncomplicated tone of Margarit.
