Mercedes Cebrian is interested in how the ideas and ideals by which
we live our lives intersect with the minutiae of those lives: food,
decor, travel, taxes, relationships, celebrity-watching, the
quiddity of the everyday. I remember a board-game / from my
child-hood: trees, houses, cars, / tiny people with fixed smiles,
lives mapped-out,/ with consumer choices made for you/ and
decisions taken for you / on the little question-cards she writes
in the poem 'City now or soon', but the day-to-day of the shiny new
Spanish democracy turns out to be not quite so picture-perfect, and
in her surreal, rapid, darkly funny, lyrical poems she proves adept
at putting her finger in society's wounds. Cebrian is one of the
most fascinating and original voices in current Spanish poetry.
