Catalan Poems, by Pere Gimferrer, is a Catalan poetry collection from Spain, translated by Adrian Nathan West, published by Carcanet Press, Limited in 2019. It is a Catalan collection that functions as both selected entrance and linguistic declaration, giving English readers a way into Gimferrer’s dense, art-haunted imagination. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation, but the chance to let one poet’s particular difficulty create its own weather.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
