Inspired by US ’60–’70s music, American counterculture, Beat Generation, Rimbaud, Blake, Dostoevsky, Patti Smith… poetry has become his way to search for answers. J.P. Canalias is the author of the Spanish poetry book Vértigo. Other unpublished work to date: Silence and Solitude (2004); Where the sun never hides (2007); Sketches of alleys, of hope, of life (2009); Visions (2012).
