Description
Journey inland
Book summary
Journey inland brings together two collections of poems awarded in the Baix Camp Literary Prizes, a benchmark competition for young writers from the Catalan Countries. The work gathers the voices of Bernat Rius, winner of the Gabriel Ferrater poetry prize, and Llívia Palliso, second prize, offering a double poetic gaze that explores identity, the inner landscape, and the human experience. A brief yet intense volume that bears witness to the emerging talent of contemporary Catalan poetry.
What is it about?
The book presents two independent poetic proposals, united by their literary quality and their origin from the same competition. The poetry of Bernat Rius, winner of the Gabriel Ferrater prize, invites a symbolic journey towards the interior, both geographical and emotional, where language becomes a map to explore the corners of the soul and the territory. For her part, the poems of Llívia Palliso, second prize, offer another perspective, complementary and equally suggestive, which enriches the whole. Both authors share a desire to delve into their own voice and connect with the Catalan poetic tradition, while bringing a fresh and contemporary sensibility.
