Pep Antoni Roig (Barcelona, 1988) is a writer, philologist and works as creative director in an audiovisual production company. At the age of sixteen he discovered that he wanted to be a poet, but for two decades he has been looking for a way to write a book of poems. In the meantime, he has devoted himself to writing poetry in other ways and with other intentions: for years he worked as an advertising slogan writer in a creative agency, he has written scripts for television and directed several documentaries. He has also been writing articles for the press for more than ten years, and is currently a columnist for the newspaper ElNAcional.cat. In 2017 he published the novel ‘Abans de la boira’ and in 2024 his second book, ‘L'aire de les coses’.
