Abstract

Classical music, jazz and the French chanson have a key role in Joan Margarit’s bilingual work. Music is part of the author’s sentimental memory, it constitutes one of his main sources of inspiration and serves as a consolation against the sadness and loneliness of life. In addition, the poet observes formal and communicative similarities between poetry and music that he expresses in his essay writing. In her lyrical work, Margarit refers to multiple genres, composers, pieces and even concrete concerts through different resources that, with the methodology of intermediality, we have classified as thematizations, reproductions, evocations and imitations.
