What is Selected Poems Of Salvador Espriu (english, Catalan And Catalan Edition) about?

This selection, translated from the catalan, marks the debut of Salvador Espriu in this country. One of Spain's great twentieth-century poets, who spent his life in the pursuit of 'the hard prize of a few bare words,' Espriu viewed his nine major books of poems (approximately eight poems from each are represented here) as a single meditation on death. In his spare, rarely rhymed verse, the simplest words are burnished to an elemental power: the words of landscape, the elements, death itself. In this bilingual edition, with a preface by the translator and an introduction by Francesc Vallverd, Espriu's friend and Spanish publisher, Magda Bogin has given us a glimpse into a remarkable body of poetry from a poet whose literary stature in Spain is akin to that of William Carlos Williams, T. S. Eliot, or Ezra Pound in the English-speaking world.
