COMMEMORATION CONFERENCE | Year “Carner”
One of the most overlooked aspects of Josep Carner’s figure is his diplomatic side. Between 1920 and 1938, the prince of poets wrote his most famous verses in places like Genoa, Costa Rica, Le Havre, Hendaye, Madrid or Paris. His loyalty to the Republic during the Civil War cut short a brilliant career in the consular corps and opened the door to forced exile in Mexico and Brussels.
