Stanza from the poem 'Xota of the Mask' by Xaime Martínez: pan, pan, pan, pan, pan, pan, pan, pan. As the geometric beats peter out, the Guirria appears amid the rocky hillsides. A posse of lads on horseback come following single file, they ask for gifts, letting out cries and rattling off tunes on empty bottles of anís. The Guirria jumps, wool cascading spume-like from his lips.
For #ITD2025 you could do worse than the three new mask-poems by Xaime Martínez, translated from Asturian and available to read at Versopolis, along with several more from his weird and wonderful poetry collection/detective novel Cuerpos perdidos en las morgues

The theme for #ITD2025 highlights the importance of human trust in the art of translation. Translators carry the responsibility of ensuring trustworthy communication — a craft threatened by the rising use of AI-generated and machine translation.
