Ida Vitale (born 2 November 1923) is a Uruguayan poet, translator, essayist, lecturer and literary critic.
Life
[edit | edit source]
She played an important role in the Uruguayan art movement known as the 'Generation of 45': Carlos Maggi, Manuel Flores Mora, Ángel Rama (who also became her second husband), Emir Rodríguez Monegal, Idea Vilariño, Carlos Real de Azúa, Carlos Martínez Moreno, Mario Arregui, Mauricio Muller, José Pedro Díaz, Amanda Berenguer, Tola Invernizzi, Mario Benedetti, Líber Falco, Juan Cunha, Juan Carlos Onetti, among others.[1]
Vitale fled to Mexico City in 1973 for political asylum after a military junta took power in Uruguay. She resided in Austin, Texas[2][3] until 2016, when she returned to Montevideo, where she currently resides.[4] Vitale is the last surviving member of the Generation of 45. She is the recipient of multiple literary prizes and honors for the literary texts she has published. In 2019 she was awarded a Cervantes prize for her lifetime achievement.[5]
Vitale turned 100 in November 2023.[6]
