Set elefants drets sota la pluja

Rate this book
Billy Collins (Nova York, 1941) és avui el poeta més popular dels Estats Units, però no ha estat encara traduït al català. Set elefants drets sota la pluja són 35 poemes extrets del llibre Aimless Love (2013) que és una selecció de la pròpia obra feta per Collins.
Collins ha declarat que, en escriure cada poema, té «un lector al cap, algú que és allà amb mi a l’habitació i a qui estic parlant, i vull estar segur de no parlar massa de pressa o amb massa lleugeresa. Normalment miro de crear un to acollidor al començament del poema. Passar del títol als primers versos és com pujar a una canoa. Poden passar un grapat de coses».
