Tugs in the Fog: Selected Poems

0/5 ( ratings)

Joan Margarit is one of Spain's major modern writers. He first published his work in Spanish, but for the past three decades has become known for his mastery of the Catalan language. The melancholy and candor of his poetry show his affinity with Thomas Hardy, whose work he has translated. In poems evoking the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath, the harshness of life in Barcelona under Franco, and grief at the death of a beloved handicapped daughter, Margarit reminds us that it is not death we have to understand but life. His poetry confronts the worst that life can throw at us, yet what lingers in the mind is its warmth and humanity.
