A complete and invaluable collection of lyrical works by a major voice in Catalan literary expression of the last fifty years; an author who had published with Tres i Quatre and Llibres del Mall, prestigious publishing houses that have done immense work in disseminating poetry... Gaspar Jaén Urban (Elche, 1952) presents his lyrical corpus since 1975. We should see him everywhere, giving excellent interviews; literary critics could seize the opportunity to review his work and discuss it extensively; bookstores should be vying to stock this volume... Will any of this happen? I'd bet my left hand it won't. It doesn't matter, but: Guadalajara has loved us!
