On the occasion of the centenary of Salvat-Papasseit’s death, the magazine El temps publishes an interview with the editor Jordi Cornudella, who, this year has published three key works of three Catalan poets of the 20th century: the Complete Poetry of Salvat-Papasseit, the poetry between 1917 and 1936 by J. V. Foix (Cap má no em diu adéu) and Gabriel Ferrater’s Papers sobre literatura.
Comparing Foix’s book from 1917 to 1936 and Salvat’s from 1917 to 1924, Salvat’s proposal is much more convincing. Although Salvat dies young, his poetry is complete poetry, says Cornudella.
