Corba tancada

Què no donaria, per una finestra
amb vistes al mar. Tot,
anys de vida, llum a casa,
menjar, vestit, hores de lleure i de son,
un braç, una cama.
Tot, ho donaria, per una finestra
amb vistes al mar. Tot
llevat d’una sola cosa:
la meva nua, grisa, particular
finestra sense vistes al mar.

* 09.12.1954, Barcelona, Spain
lives in: Sitges, Spain

Cèlia Sànchez-Mústich was born in Barcelona in December 1954 and lives in Sitges. She has published over 15 books, of poetry and fiction, although she believes poetry is a more undeniable literary experience, and a poem is “a reverse earthquake that, instead of scattering objects about, returns them to their origins; and, not satisfied with that, invents their place of origin”.

Some of her poems have been translated into several languages. On no sabem, into French. Some of the anthologies she has been in include Parlano le donne, poetesse catalane del XXI secolo (2008), Paraula encesa (2012), French literary journal Europe (issue 1007, May 2013), Xeixa: Fourteen Catalan Poets (2018) and Migsegle de poesiacatalana (2018).

As a poet, she has been called “naughty and daring, she exposes a perverse, crazy and critical reality, to an unthinkable degree” (Jordi Julià and Pere Ballart, in Paraula encesa) and “It seems as if she has a magnifying glass for the grandiose microscopic universe and a telescope with thick lenses that can probe everything” (Víctor Obiols, on l’Ara.cat). She studied music and promotes creative projects, co-directing the Sitges Poetry Festival with poet Joan Duran i Ferrer since 2007, with the unique concept of paying tribute to poets.
