Joan Brossa, El Saltamartí / The Tumbler
This first-time English translation of The Tumbler (El saltamartí)-a collection of poems written in 1963 and first published in Catalan in 1969-presents a convergence of Joan Brossa's critical and cultural concerns. Charting his growing sense of social commitment and support of Catalan independence, freedom stands as both Brossa's primary subject and conceptual framework throughout this collection. The Tumbler is an anti-clerical and anti-authoritarian work that brings together verse vignettes and visual poems to revivify the proverbial, often with comic and subversive effect. Brossa plays with image, iconography and intimation as both verbal and visual elements vie for our attentions across these pages as-always the innovator-Brossa evinces a manifestly accessible and archly political poetry that demands our critical and creative participation. The Tumber stands as a critical study of freedom; as "a bird that moves its wings."
Joan Brossa: Poetry
A comprehensive survey of the work of Joan Brossa, through his books and his visual investigations, including his pioneering work in theatre, cinema, music and artistic actions.Joan Brossa was firstly, and foremost, a poet, but we believe it is necessary to see this in relation to his way of working, his poiesis. Brossa was a poet, but his works stood at a crossroad of languages. Frequently collaborating with other artists, musicians, filmmakers, dancers, comedians and even magicians, his work constantly went against the grain and beyond the limits between disciplines. Brossa developed his artistic practice in the 1940s, in a sociopolitical context marked by Francoœs dictatorship, and in a cultural milieu characterised by the absence of avant-garde and innovative proposals. From the beginning, and up until his death, Brossaœs work was one of aesthetic renewal, based on literary and artistic research. His extensive production never ceased to develop new forms of expression and ways of experimenting with different media.
