Barcelona Ink is a quarterly magazine featuring writing from and about Barcelona.
"A tribute to the vitality of that other Barcelona." Patricia Gabancho, Avui.
"A curious and worthy project. Recommended." Anima, Canal 33.
"Created with a pleasing touch of eccentricity." Jordi Punti, El Periodico.
Due to a few leaves on the line and the wrong kind of snow we are a tad behind schedule but number three will be out by the end of the month and, as usual, will be available from BCN Books, Laie Bookshops (including Pau Claris, Caixa Forum, La Pedrera and CCCB), La Central Raval, La Central MACBA, Come-in Books, Llibreria Bertrand (Rambla Catalunya), MNAC, Hibernian Books in Gracia, and here at the online shop.
The third issue is packed with great stuff. Highlights include fantastic poetry from recognized poets Alan Jenkins and Jamie McKendrick, a fascinating interview with Laura Borràs talking about digital literature, a hilarious essay on Paul Auster's visit to Barcelona and a retrospective look at the work of Catalan poet Joan Brossa.
Highlights from previous issues can now be downloaded by clicking on the back issue icon on the left.
Not only does the magazine aim to have articles about and by well known writers connected to the city in some way - in this category we could mention Toibin, Orwell, Rupert Thompson and many more - but to act as a platform for new writers exiled in a city which has provided them with a new set of cultural references. We also occasionally highlight the work of Catalan writers and poets who we like. The result, we hope, is a small and beautiful thing, an object of interest and curiosity to those passing through and an eagerly awaited magazine for those who have taken root.
