{"product_id":"selected-poems-of-salvador-espriu-9780393306378","title":"Selected Poems of Salvador Espriu","description":"Salvador Espriu was born in 1913. A member of the so-called generation of '36--those who were in their twenties at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War--Espriu became a voluntary exile in his own land. Writing in a forbidden language, hyperconscious of his historical moment, he took upon himself the task of saving Catalan for his people. In this bilingual edition, with a preface by the translator and an introduction by Francesca Vallverd�, Espriu's friend and Spanish publisher, Magda Bogin has given us a glimpse into a remarkable body of poetry from a poet whose literary stature in Spain is akin to that o William Carlos Williams and T. S. Eliot in the English speaking world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEspriu, Salvador:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eSalvador Espriu\u003c\/b\u003e (1913-1985) is considered one of the Catalan language's most significant postwar writers, producing fiction, poetry, and drama.
