POCENAR, Cervantes Poets in Arabic: Presentation of the Trilingual Anthology of Joan Margarit IC Amán

The Instituto Cervantes in Amman presents the trilingual anthology of the Catalan poet Joan Margarit, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the creation of the Cervantes Poets in Arabic collection. This publication is the editorial result of the seventh edition of the Training, Editing, and Translation Programme Cervantes Poets in Arabic (POCENAR), developed between December 2024 and December 2025. The work has been translated from Spanish and Catalan into Arabic by Anwar Abdelfadeil Gaad, Wedad Bassam Ilhuseini, Yasmin Tarek Abuzaid, and Mai Tariq Yousif Alwaraydat, winners of the competition held within the framework of the programme. 


As in previous editions, the presentation is scheduled to take place on the World Book Day, and from that date onwards the publication will be available for free download from the CVC. 

Through this initiative, the Instituto Cervantes reaffirms its commitment to promoting Hispanic literature in the Arab world by bringing the work of Cervantes Prize–winning authors to new readers. At the same time, the programme supports emerging talent among young translators from Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon, strengthening cultural and creative ties between both shores of the Mediterranean. 

Activity organised on the occasion of the World Book and Copyright Day. 

We look forward to seeing you!
