Jaume Pont Biography

Jaume Pont (Lleida, 1947) is a poet and he teaches Literature at the University of Lleida.

His essays deal mainly with poetry, covering a very wide range of its aspects, from the “postista” (a Madrid-based avant-garde movement of the 1940s) poets through to his studies of new generations of Catalan poets.

His anthology La nova poesia catalana (New Catalan Poetry), co-authored with Joaquim Marco, would became the spearhead of his own literary group, the 1980s generation.
