To the port

The port, a place to stroll along. There is the sea, the sky, the prepared spaces. Roser Guasch invites us in the poem "Al port" to take a walk there on a rainy afternoon. The Moll de Costa becomes the journey, the experience of a Sunday, of a relationship, of a life; all, uncertain itineraries. We can interpret the port as a place of departure and arrival, but it can also become a before and an after.

The author's voice, accompanied by Vinyoli, beats to the rhythm of the rain with short verses and includes us in the vital beat by sharing her we.

The text belongs to the writer's first book of poetry: L'amistat de les pedres, which won the Miquel Martí and Pol de Roda de Ter prize (1998).
