FOUND IN TRANSLATION: A READING LIST FEATURING THE 2020 PEN AWARD FOR POETRY IN TRANSLATION HONOREES

This first substantial selection in English from the prose poetry of influential Catalan writer J.V. Foix features a core of 45 prose poems from the beginning of Foix’s career, interspersed with additional literary works. Readers are immersed in the experimental nature of these works, which provide a valuable glimpse into the world of Catalonian revolutionary politics in the era preceding Franco’s dictatorship.
