Manuel Forcano
Indebted to poets like Kavafis and Yehuda Amichai, the latter of whom he has translated, he frequently presents historical or cultural motifs from Antiquity, which contrast with the vulgarity of the present.
J.V. Foix
The poetry of J. V. Foix is, in his own words, that of "a researcher into poetry". His verse, as a consequence, is highly experimental. His work is a subtle combination of ancient and modern values, from both conceptual and formal perspectives.
Bartomeu Fiol
Poetry is not exclusive to anything or anyone. We might define it as a special way of seeing or perceiving reality. It can therefore be found in all the arts and in any personal experience (although it should not be confused with good feelings).
