The presentation of the fourth volume of the poetry collection “Álbumes Versàlia” will take place on Thursday, January 16, at 6:30 p.m., at the Jaimes bookstore in Barcelona (Valencia street, 318).
The latest book is entitled Por/Poder and is illustrated with twenty-seven drawings by the painter Jerónimo Prieto. The volume brings together the contributions of thirty-one poets on the chosen theme, headed by the poet and translator Arnau Pons and the poet Chantal Maillard, who, with texts written expressly for the occasion, open the first section: Caplletres.
The second is an anthology of poems from different periods and languages on the theme, freely commented afterwards by a large number of poets, such as Nuria Busquet, Eduardo Moga, Josep Mi. Ripoll, Gemma Arimany, Emilia Conejo, Esteban Martínez Serra, Víctor Obiols, Xavier Farré, Luz Pichel, Josep Gerona Fumara, Jordi Llavina, Raquel Casas, Jaume Creus, or Joaquim Sala-Sanahuja, among others.
In the third section, all the participating poets offer us their unpublished poems. And the book closes with an appendix with the original versions of the translated poems.
The presentation will consist of the reading of some of the poems commented by the poets participating in the edition of the book: Víctor Obiols, Jaume Creus, Gemma Arimany, Empar Sàez, Susanna Gonzàlez Túrigas, Víctor Mañosa, Josep Ma. Ripoll, Eduardo Moga, Esteban Martínez Serra, Arnau Pons and Josep Gerona Fumàs.
