Jordi Doce is one of the three or four living European poets whose work I most treasure. He brings all his faculties to the rich task of being, his voice inhabits the names, not just with wonder, but with new possibilities, like Machado, on the one hand, and Montale on the other, he is a companion, not a guide, always present with us, never merely pointing what he thinks might be the way." -John Burnside"Unforgettable poems that, on the verge of tales and fables, drag the reader toward a universe of screened images, like 'pollen clouds in the slant evening light'." -Antonio Ortega, El Pais
