Project

A la Residència Faber tinc previst treballar en la traducció de poemes i proses del poeta alemany Friedrich Hölderlin. La meva idea és centrar-me en els seus grans himnes de maduresa, poemes de grans dimensions no rimats que porten el llenguatge al límit, i també en algunes proses estètico-filosòfiques que són molt útils per comprendre el seu projecte poètic.
