Project

During my stay, I will work on the translation into Galician of the poem book by Mireia Calafell published in 2020 and entitled Nosaltres, qui. I’ve chosen this poet because she is a contemporary poet and a reference in the literary system of Catalonia but also recognized in other territories. Besides, she is a woman with feminist principles, innovative, and with an intelligent and very interesting literary and artistic proposal. I’ve chosen this piece of work for the theme that, although identifying, or questioning life, or what it may be, is an aspect that is repeated throughout the history of literature, her proposal is very innovative and vigorous.
