La poesia

Sóc un miracle
de la natura
ningú m'atura

Sóc una bèstia
sóc la modèstia

Vinc amb els gossos
toco les plantes
sóc com d'abantes

Just arribada
ja estic prenyada

Jo sóc la forma
no passis ànsia
de la substància

No em cal cap mot
sé dir-ho tot

Enric Casasses, born in Barcelona in 1951, is one of the vital voices of present-day Catalan poetry and the best-known of the poets who, in the eighties and nineties, fuelled Barcelona's countercultural poetry scene that became a real culture of poetic oral delivery.

He is one of the figures responsible for the fact that poetry has opened up towards oral traditions, performances and, too, a larger audience. Also awards such as the ‘Carles Riba Prize’ and the ‘Ausiàs Marc de Gandia Prize’ have brought Casasses critical recognition.
