I'm really looking forward to introducing you to Ausiàs March, the great figure of medieval poetry and a landmark of Catalan literature. I'll do it in a new Catalan literature workshop, a 90-minute talk for a general audience.
Date: Thursday 3 December, 6 pm
Venue: Lluïsos de Gràcia
Length: 1 h 30 min
We'll explore the life and work of Ausiàs March, the most universal poet of our Golden Age, who broke with the troubadour tradition to give us poetry that is honest, deep and radically human.
Through his verses we'll discover not only passionate love but also doubt, inner torment and a constant reflection on life and death. We'll see how each poem wrestles between carnal and spiritual love, and how spiritual love always wins in the end. That is why his romantic spirit, so full of truth, still speaks to us six centuries later.
Finally, we'll unlock the keys to his work to understand why his poetry still resonates so strongly today.
I hope to see you there!
