Fiction
A polyphony of voices —humans, yes, but also clouds and mushrooms, a roe-deer and a pet dog, water nymphs, witches, ghosts, even the mountains themselves— come together in this luminous cant to our natural world and its eye piercing beauty, the fierce muscle of the seasons and an ode to words themselves, to the power of poetry to highlight the constant coexistence of life and death.
Within the constellation of human homes, a line of open-air poets is struck: first the father with a bolt of lightning to the head and then the son, in a hunting accident twenty years later. This rugged borderland between Camprodon and Prats de Molló bears the scars of this violence and that of witch hunts and the civil war, but its stories and legends are resilient and transcend the human life span. Solà, with a stunning command of language and a use of repetition that makes prose in verse, reminds us we are all animals, we are all landscape and we are all spirits.
