In which Joel and Basie talk about J. V Foix's "At the Entrance to an Underground Station, Bound Hand and Foot by Customs Officials, I Saw How Marta Set Off in a Train for the Frontier. I Wanted to Smile at her, but a Policelike Militiaman Carried Me Off With His Own Family, and Set Fire to the Woods" written in September, 1936. We found the poem in David H Rosenthal's "Modern Catalan Poetry: An Anthology," published first by New Rivers Press in 1996.

If you're interested in hearing the poem read in Catalan (which is beautiful, check it out): http://www.ccma.cat/catradio/alacarta/programa/josep-vicenc-foix-a-lentrada-duna-estacio-subterrania/video/4492131/#
