Cell Mate

by Ana Merino

translated by Elizabeth Polli

“Ana Merino is one of the best contemporary Spanish poets, and Cell Mate is a wonderful place to start reading her. In these poems all of Ana's registers are present: the whimsical one some times, others the haunted one. Ana writes dark lullabies, fairy tales for grown ups, and she does it without losing the sense of childish wonder. How is that possible? Open the book.”

Edmundo Paz-Soldan, author of The Matter of Desire, Turing's Delirium, and winner of Bolivia’s National Book Award
