Arnau Orobitg (b. 1982) was raised in Andorra La Vella. His sole published poetry collection is “Distàncies”; that aside, he has also composed a number of other poetry collections which remain patiently unpublished. For the past nine years, Orobitg works as shepherd, and this occupation has influenced both his work and his overall mentality – the seasonal movement of animals in the Alps is of major importance to him. He has studied arts and anthropology in Barcelona. Other than writing poems, he also paints, draws and sculpts – with the same intensity as with poetry.
