«El grum i la morca» is the poetry collection by Antoni Espí Cardona, published by Meteora in paperback (56 pages, in Catalan).
The collection is built around the allegory of the olive tree: «el grum», the flower, symbolises serenity and hope, while «la morca», the sediment of the oil, evokes the bitter taste of pain and death. Divided into three parts, «Natura viva» contemplates the vegetative cycle of the olive tree in short poems; «Paisatge amb figures» takes place by the sea and blends placidity with portents of suffering; «Les morques» gathers the most painful part, with envy, betrayal and the death of loved ones.
The work belongs to the Mitilene collection, number 31, and was awarded the VIII Premi de Poesia Joan Perucho Vila d'Ascó.
For readers of contemporary poetry in Catalan who appreciate lyricism inspired by nature and reflection on loss.
