Two voices in dialogue through silence, the instant, everything that endures. Two generations and two singular voices that resonate, that capture us through silence and the invocation of the sometimes invisible power of good poetry.

With the participation of Antoni Clapés and Laia Malo

Antoni Clapés was born in Sabadell (Barcelona) in July 1948. He is a poet, translator and poetry editor, recognised with awards such as Joan Alcover (1989), Cadaqués a Quima Jaume (2010), Josep Maria Llompart - Cavall Verd (2010) and Nollegiu (2018). He cultivates a poetry of a brief nature, which wants to be essential and stripped of artifice: knotted, austere. Her writing is a meditation on being and becoming (silence, text, language, time, memory).

Laia Martinez i Lopez (Laia Malo) was born in Berga in 1984 and works the poetic voice in multiple disciplines, from various street platforms and all over the world. She has published L'abc de Laia Martinez i Lopez (2009), L'estiu del tonight, tonight (2011), Cançó amb esgarrip i dos poemes (2014), Afollada (2016), Venus volta (2018) i Versets i cigarrets (2021). She has translated Marina Tsvetàieva and Patti Smith, among others.
