Poema visual transitable en tres parts (Walkable Visual Poem in Three Parts) is a sculpture by Joan Brossa that turns language into physical form in the public space. In the Jardins del Velòdrom d’Horta, it takes poetry off the page and into the landscape. An initial “A” suggests birth, punctuation marks trace the stages and obstacles along the way, and a final broken “A” points to death. The work maps out a symbolic journey through the cycle of life, inviting you to see the city itself as an open poem.
This is good to know
Inaugurated in 1988, it was one of Brossa’s earliest large-scale works of visual poetry in the city.
