New Letters to a Young Poet

Explores poetry as vocation, obsession, and partnership between writer and reader, a 'road toward inner growth'. This book is suitable for poets young and old, writers, and readers seeking insights into the creative process and 'the way both poet and reader can find their own way to face solitude'.
In these intimate pages, award-winning Catalan poet Joan Margarit offers a passionate defense of poetry and of the intelligible poem - the well-made text that can provide refuge, wisdom, and consolation. Inspired by Rilke's classic "Letters to a Young Poet", this slender volume explores poetry as vocation, obsession, and partnership between writer and reader, a 'road toward inner growth'. For Margarit, poetry promises 'a clarity that allows us mysteriously to live without the need to forget'. This is essential reading for poets young and old, writers, and readers seeking insights into the creative process and 'the way both poet and reader can find their own way to face solitude'.
