Sense el dolor no hauríem estimat

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.
