The event “Jo sóc aquell que en mar advers veleja” (‘I am the one who sails on hostile seas’), a study on J.V. Foix and historical artistic and literary avantgardes, will take place on December 17th.
The event also includes a concert for mixed choir and piano in the afternoon, in which Benet Casablancas’ piece «Jo tem la nit» (I Fear the Night), inspired by a poem by J.V. Foix, will be performed.

Here you have two of the numerous political articles written by Foix. They are no doubt of great interest, but often, unfortunately, so relevant to our present situation as if they were written yesterday.

«El catalanisme essencial», La Publicitat, 28-V-1936

«Estimar Catalunya», La Publicitat, 11-I-1935

In the 2nd volume of the series «Geografia Literària», Llorenç Soldevila shows us the physiognomy, the history and the monuments of the Lleida regions of High Pyrenees and the Aran through the eyes of our great authors.
The verse and prose texts of J. V. Foix have an important role in this book.

For the 18th-19th October week-end we have organized a trip to the region of el Solsonès, where the Foix lineage comes from. It may be a good occasion to combine poetry and the enjoyment of territory and countryside.

The trip includes a visit to Els Torrents, the Foix mill, Sant Vicenç de Foix and the Puits hill, as well as a poetry recital, a poetry workshop and a visit to the Sant Llorenç dels Morunys church.
