"LLEGO LA HORA DE IDEA VILARINO: UN CLASICO DE LA LITERATURA LATINOAMERICANA" (EL PAIS)
"Idea Vilarino habla con el corazon en un puno." -Manuel Vilas
"Carnal y feroz, liberrima pero pulida hasta el fi lo de lo esencial." -Raquel Garzon, El Pais
"Forma parte de ese nutrido grupo de escritoras del siglo XX que nos queda por redescubrir." -Edurne Portela
Aunque la autora ha mantenido a lo largo de su vida una actitud casi monacal con respecto a la difusion de su obra, hoy dia esta considerada como uno de los clasicos vivos de las letras hispanoamericanas.
Su poesia -escasa y sobria, lentamente madurada- transita siempre por los extremos, tensa, como acorralada por una intima urgencia. Quiza el asunto que con mayor frecuencia aparece en esta poesia sea la muerte, pero una muerte que late y se experimenta en el esplendor de la vida, en los golpes del amor, en los embates del sexo, en la dialectica entre ausencia y recuerdo.
La lectura de estos poemas conforma una experiencia intensa y perdurable y supone el descubrimiento de una de las voces mas contundentes y secretamente bellas de la poesia contemporanea.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"IDEA VILARINO'S TIME HAS COME: A CLASSIC IN LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE" (EL PAIS)
Although throughout her life, Vilarino has maintained an almost reclusive attitude regarding the publication of her life's work, today she is considered one of the living classics of Latin American narrative.
Her poetry -scarce, sober, and slowly matured-always moves through the extremes, tense, as if cornered by a discreet urgency. Perhaps the most frequently recurring theme that appears in her poetry is death, but a death with a beating heart, one that moves about in the splendor of life, in the blows of love, in the onslaught of sex, and in the interaction between absence and memories.
The act of reading these poems exposes readers to an intense and lasting experience and supposes the discovery of one of the most forceful and secretly beautiful voices of contemporary poetry.
"Idea Vilarino speaks by wearing her heart on her sleeve." -Manuel Vilas
"Carnal and fierce, free but sharp until the edge of what's essential." -Raquel Garzon, El Pais
"Vilarino is part of that large group of 20th century writers that we have yet to rediscover." -Edurne Portela
