Joan Salvat-Papasseit (Barcelona, 16 May 1894 - 7 August 1924)
He was a Catalan poet, though he also wrote articles, manifestos and other prose of a political and social nature. He wrote primarily in Catalan, although he had an early period of essay-writing in Spanish.
His work is notable for its nonconformity, idealism and foreboding of premature death. His poetry, with both avant-garde and traditional influences, begins with the publication of "Poemes en ondes hertzianes" (Poems in Hertzian Waves) in 1919, moving to "La gesta dels estels" (The Exploit of the Stars) in 1922 and culminates with the poet's vital enthusiasm in "El poema de la rosa als llavis" (Poem of the Rose in the Lips) in 1923.
