“What did Baudelaire say, man can live a week without bread but not a day without poetry. You might say I can live a week without poetry but not a day without jazz.”
Philip Larkin
“We’d stay up 24 hours drinking cup after cup of black coffee, playing record after record of Wardell Gray, Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, Willie Jackson, Lennie Tristano and all the rest, talking madly about that holy new feeling out there in the streets.”
Jack Kerouac

IMPERTINENTS, ulleres de mànec plegable que es duien penjades. La gent les duia a la mà i se’ls posava a la cara quan volia veure algú o alguna cosa amb més detall i això era considerat una impertinència. Donació de l’heraldista i vexil·lòleg Armand de Fluvià
This year’s #NobelPrize laureate Anne Carson was born in 1950 in Toronto, Canada. In 1981, she published her doctoral thesis in Classics entitled ‘Odi et Amo Ergo Sum’, and has, throughout her entire career, combined poetry writing with translation work and teaching at various universities.
Almost all her literary production has centred upon the intersection between the philologist’s obsession with words and the poet’s desire for new meaning. She has herself identified the etymology of words as the starting point for all her work.
