Blai Bonet
Blai Bonet (1926 – 1997) was a Mallorcan poet, novelist and art critic. Bonet released El Mar (The Sea) in 1958. In 1962, his collections of poems L'Evangeli segons un de tants (The Gospel According to One of Many) was awarded the Carles Riba Poetry Prize, but it was not published due to Spanish Francoist censorship, delaying it for more than five years.
