From AQC Editors, this summer ARA offers the possibility of acquiring an artistic edition of the six poetry collections by Joan Salvat-Papasseit (1894-1924) in a wooden case, a piece conceived by designers Salvador Saura and Ramon Torrente and illustrated by painter Perico Pastor.

Joan Salvat-Papasseit (Barcelona, 1894–1924) had a short and difficult life, but more than a century after his death he is still remembered thanks to his avant-garde, direct and transparent verses, collected in books such as L'irradiador del port i les gavines (Tallers Atenes A.G., 1921) and El poema de la rosa als llavis (Llibreria Nacional Catalana, 1923). "The love for Salvat-Papasseit has nothing to do only with the emotional quality of his poetry, but with those who kept the flame of his memory alive," argues editor Jordi Cornudella – who recovered his Poesia completa at Edicions 62 in 2024 – during the presentation of an essential volume to bring back to life the author's work, Sobre Salvat-Papasseit i altres escrits, by Tomàs Garcés (Barcelona, 190–1993).

Joan Salvat-Papasseit He is the poet of eroticism and rebellion, of "long live life" even when death seems to have him cornered. He is the fleeting poet who remains eternally among us, both amorous and elegiac. He always returns to anticipate our future. All the longing for tomorrow"If I can never get up again, here's what awaits me: You will remain, to see how good everything is: Life and Death."
