We Were Not There

<p>“Jordi Doce is one of the three or four living European poets whose work I most treasure. He brings all his faculties to the rich task of being; his voice inhabits the names not just with wonder but with new possibilities; like Machado on the one hand and Montale on the other he is a companion not a guide always present with us never merely pointing what he thinks might be the way.” —John Burnside</p><p>“Unforgettable poems that on the verge of tales and fables drag the reader toward a universe of screened images like 'pollen clouds in the slant evening light'.” —Antonio Ortega <em>El Pais</em></p>
