The well-known illustrator Montse Ginesta has recorded a video together with Jordi Teixidó in which she talks about the passion she feels towards drawing, even if, as she tells us herself, what she likes most is “writing verses and singing”. In the video we can hear her recite some verses from the poem “It’s when I’m asleep that I see clearly” (“És quan dormo que hi veig clar”) by J.V. Foix accompanied by a piano.

The Institut d’Estudis Catalans has publied the book Quinze anys de periodisme: les col·laboracions de J. V. Foix a La Publicitat (1922-1936) by Pere Gómez i Inglada, that obtained the Lluís Nicolau d’Olwer Prize of Philology in 2007.
The study tries to be an approach to the intense journalist activity of J.V. Foix and to show the outstanding rol, almost exclusive, that it had in the publicist’s creative production, superior than the poetic creation. It also deals with Foix’s relation with Acció Catalana and the politic situation of that time.
The outbreak of the war and the impossibility of maintaining his journalist activity, from the freedom and in his mother tongue, caused him approaching other fields of his literary creation.

No pesquis mai amb els ormeigs d’un altre
08/08/201019/03/2020
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.
