The celebrated writer Ćlvaro Mutis envied new readers of Ida Vitaleās poetry: āunexpected pleasures await them.ā Time Without Keys: Selected Poems is the first volume of Vitaleās illustrious poetry to appear in the US. The selection spans seventy-five years and the wonders within aboundāthe skies over Montevideo, falconry, the saxifrageās bloom, gratitude for the alphabet and summerāas 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? Vitaleās 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 Vitaleās most beloved poems, as well as a wealth of recent work. The translator Sarah Pollack, Vitaleās first translator into English, has written an informative afterword about Vitaleās life and work.
