Anna Gual’s poems express life in all its unexpectedness, whether she is exploring relationships between human beings and the rest of our universe, between and within bodies, or language itself. Scientific inquiry informs her work as she observes both the visible and the invisible. She is a leading figure in the Catalan literary world, a prolific prize-winning author of eight collections of poetry. Unnamable will be Gual’s debut book in English translation and will be bilingual in Catalan and English on facing pages.
