Les irreals omegues

In addition to the thirteen poems that make up Les irreals omegues, the book contains a work by Segimon Serrallonga from 1980 in which he proposes that the eight poems of On he deixat les claus and the thirteen Desa aquests llibres al calaix de baix that belong to the same temporal arc are an ideal complement to deepen the reading of the book. Likewise, it includes a preliminary exhibition by Jaume Coll Mariné, connoisseur of the work of Segimon Serrallonga.

Cap mà no em diu adéu

From 1917 until the outbreak of war, J. V. Foix made available to readers many poems in verse and prose, some of which he recovered in the books Gertrudis and KRTU, from 1927 and 1932, and others in some later ones. There are, however, some poems that he never recovered. This book collects for the first time all these poems as they originally appeared and offers us a portrait of the first twenty years of Foix’s poetry, at the height of the avant-garde.

Documents propis i texts d’altri

Documents propis i texts d'altriThe new book that the Fundació publishes that year contains the contributions that J. V. Foix worked for the Serra d’Or magazine between 1960 and 1962, renewing the old practice of “Meridians”, in the newspaper La Publicitat, where he did cultural journalism, an activity he dedicated himself to for twenty years, from twenty-three to forty-three.
It is the first time that these collaborations have been collected in one volume. In “Documents propis” he collects opinions of Catalan writers, while in “Texts d’altri” he collects the opinions of foreign authors.

Allò que no diu La Vanguardia

This book collects, in each of its parts, three facets of the unique approach between journalism and poetry that characterizes an important part of Foix’s work: ninety-two “Noves de darrera hora” from 1966-1969, fifteen “Telegrames” from 1929-1931 and fifteen “Fets diversos” from 1931-1932.
This edition enriches it with seventeen “Telegrames” and three additional “Fets diversos”, and is headed by an article from 1932 in which J. V. Foix defends his idea of ​​what should be a newspaper capable of saying things that other newspapers do not say.

Entre llibres i llibres. Correspondència 1935-1983

Entre llibres i llibres collects the correspondence between J. V. Foix and Joan Gili, publisher and bookseller settled in England in 1934, and shows the reader the birth of books such as Sol, i de dol and Les irreals omegues

.

Noms propis. Escriptors i artistes


Noms propis collects for the first time, apart from the complete works, the texts of Foix (newspaper articles, prologues and conferences) that deal with writers and artists, including some that until now had not been published.

Els lloms transparents

Collection of forty-six articles chosen by Foix himself from the many that he wrote for the newspaper La Publicitat that reflect on culture, politics and society. As in the 1969 edition, it they are preceded by a prologue by Gabriel Ferrater.

Ho sap tothom, i és profecia

Folder containing facsimiles of 30 congratulations that Foix sent to his friends from 1948 to 1976. Each facsimile included a poem by Foix and the illustration of an artist, including Miró, Dalí, Tàpies, Ponç, Cuixart, Obiols and Amat.

Oh, si prudent i amb paraula lleugera

Como dice Enrique Badosa en el epilogo, «De la correspondencia entre los que saben escribir (…) siempre obtendremos la plenitud de la serena belleza de la palabra bien pulsada.»

Amb mots de ben copsar, published in November 2014 contains seventeen interviews of J. V. Foix and a multimedia disc with sixteen recorded interviews.

Cada poeta és ell

Cada poeta és ell
Cada poeta és ell, published in December 2011, contains, in addition to the transcription and the translation to Spanish of nineteen poems by J. V. Foix and two comments about Miró and Dalí, an appendix that includes five sonnets and one text, edited by Ramon Salvo Torres, and an introductory study by the same author.

 

 

No pesquis mai amb els ormeigs d’un altre

No pesquis mai amb els ormeigs

No pesquis mai amb els ormeigs d’un altre, published in December 2009, contains, in addition to the transcription and the translation to Spanish (done by Enrique Badosa and José Corredor-Mateos) of texts by Foix, an appendix that includes nine new telepoems, edited by Ramon Salvo Torres, and an introductory study by the same author.

The origin of the recordings is mainly due to the American Hispanicist and Catalanophile Patricia J. Boehne, who, in the summers of the years 1974 and 1977, visited the poet in Port de la Selva.

She, as director of North American Catalan Society, and together with some others Catalanophiles, as David Rosenthal, has promoted the candidature of poet Foix to Nobel Prize.

Therefore, this book is a tribute to Patricia J. Boehne, the English translator of part of the work by Foix, which so much has contributed to spread the knowledge of Foix in the Anglo-Saxon world.

Onze Nadals i un Cap d’Any

Onze Nadals i un Cap d'Any

In Onze Nadals i un Cap d’Any, published in 1960, J.V. Foix gathered together the poems that he had been sending his friends for Christmas between 1948 and 1958.

In the original poems, each one is accompanied by an illustration rendered by Foix’s friends just for the occasion, all of them renowned artists such as Dalí, Mompou, Ponç, Guinovart, Obiols, Cuixart, Tàpies, Mercader, Sunyer, Galí, Fenosa and Miró.

In this book that was just published, the poems appear for the first time with these illustrations. Furthermore, the music group Poetristas, made up of Albert Vila, Marc Serrats and Francesc Ribera “Titot”, have put these compositions to music, yet another step in the appropriation of works by authors and on behalf of popular culture. The book was published jointly by Eumo Editorial, Propaganda pel Fet and the Fundació J.V. Foix
