Key of Mist

by Guadalupe Grande

Streets, courtyards, squares, cages, a microcosm of urban power, the text of the city inhabited by the signs of the artefact and chaos of Babel, the personification of the labyrinth, a moral monster with a fortress-house for a body and a shelter for the desolation of shipwrecked as a head. Key of Mist maps the city soul, linguistic chaos rearranges the poems' voices. The city, the other civilization, the greatness and the spectrum of its intrinsic ruin, a memento mori for the urban castaway on the waves of asphalt. (...) Such is the ethical landscape in which Guadalupe Grande displays her poetic truth, recognizing the city as a hyperspace, where the epic idea of homeland, the country s ideological circumstances, the historical concept of nation are devastated by the innocent look of someone who does not understand the rush, does not accept the urgency of sacrifice imposed each morning by the necessity of work, the laws of domination, the salary of loneliness. Juan Carlos Mestre (Spanish & English)
