Born in Barcelona in 1957, Alex Susanna is well known throughout Spain and in several countries in Europe as one of the best contemporary Catalan poets. This collection offers up some of the best poems from several of his collections. His voice is fresh and inviting. The poems move from railway stations, through travels and a love of place, and a love of art and experiencing it, to love poems of extraordinary intimacy and intensity. His poetry has won a number of awards, including the Miquel de Palol Award for Poetry in 1997. Pat Boran is one of Ireland's best-known poets: his most recent collection is As the Hand, the Glove. This dual-language edition is published in the Poetry Europe Series.
