Gabriel Ferrater was a highly influential figure in Catalan poetry during the second half of the 20th century due to his introspective approach to free verse.1

His primary collection, Les dones i els dies (1968; Women and Days), served as a significant inspiration for a number of his younger contemporaries. Specifically, his work helped shape the poetic development of writers such as Francesc Parcerisas, author of L’edat d’or, i altres poemes (1983; The Golden Age, and Other Poems), and Narcís Comadira, who wrote Àlbum de família (1980; Family Album).1
