This article should be translated (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ausi%E0s_March&action=edit) from material at ca:Ausi s March.
Ausi s March (1397-1459) was a poet in Catalan born at Gandia, kingdom of Valencia. His poetry influenced several poets of the Castilian Renaissance like Boscan, Garcilaso, and Fernando de Herrera.
The Valencian Ausiàs March [1400-1459] was one of the greatest poets writing in Europe in the fifteenth century.
His work is characterized by a powerful and unique voice and by the constant innovation that allowed him not only to develop traditional genres, but to compose poems that virtually created genres of their own.
While March has previously been translated into English prose, this anthology offers translations that, more than an aid to understanding the medieval Catalan, aspire to be poems that can be enjoyed in English without constant reference to the original.

March was influenced by Thomist and other scholastic philosophy, by the Provençal troubadours (particularly by Arnaut Daniel), and by Dante and Petrarch.
