The celebrated writer Álvaro Mutis envied new readers of Ida
Vitale’s poetry: “unexpected pleasures await them.” Time
Without Keys: Selected Poems is the first volume of Vitale’s
illustrious poetry to appear in the US. The selection spans
seventy-five years and the wonders within abound—the skies over
Montevideo, falconry, the saxifrage’s bloom, gratitude for the
alphabet and summer—as do urgent questions about our relationship
with the world. How does our perception of time shape history, as
well as our social and political constructs? Vitale’s poetic and
human vitality have made her a storied figure in the Spanish
language and beyond; her writing revered for being classic and
modern, precise and lucid, intellectually challenging and rich in
tradition. This bilingual edition, presented in reverse
chronological order, offers the reader both a wide range of
Vitale’s most beloved poems, as well as a wealth of recent work.
The translator Sarah Pollack, Vitale’s first translator into
English, has written an informative afterword about Vitale’s life
and work.
