I was stupidly thrilled while reading my e-newsletter from @elcultural to find the word "letraheridos" (more or less "people hurt by letters") to describe what English might call #bibliophiles or #literature lovers—and now I'm wondering if the origins of this newer term have anything to do with #Auden declaring #Yeats was hurt into #poetry ... Wherever it came from, I'm declaring it the best word I've heard in ages.
@Zwieblein@poetry@translators We are all "wounded by letters, by words, by poems," that's why we read and write. I agree, it's a beautiful Spanish variant of the Catalan word lletraferit. Wordstricken!
