"It has wings like the skylark and flies more than the partridge. Only he doesn't know how to make his nest and is out of tune in the peep-peep. [Riddle]" The orality, musicality and sonority of the verses are at the foundations of Miquel Desclot's poetics. Oi, Eloi? is one of his most ingenious and stimulating works, both for children and adults. Proverbs, riddles, songs and short games that draw on tradition and the playful sense of verse are interspersed with more extensive compositions that refer to classic and contemporary authors such as Robert Louis Stevenson, Jacques Prévert, Gianni Rodari or the limericks of Edward Lear, among others, with which the author - a renovator of Catalan poetry - builds bridges to other European literary systems.
Miquel Creus i Muñoz alias Miquel Desclot is a Spanish writer and translator known for his Catalan translations of works by Dante, Petrarca or Michelangelo Buonarroti. He was one of the founders of the Catalan literary collective, Ofèlia Dracs around 1976.
