Byobu reveals a rich inner world, one driven by its meticulous attention to our rich outer one."a story's existence, even if not well defined or well assigned, even if only in its formative stage, just barely latent, emits vague but urgent emanations."Byobu's every interaction trembles with possibility and faint menace. A crack in the walls of his house, marring it forever, means he must burn it down. A stoplight asks what the value of obedience is, what hopefulness it contains, and what insensible anarchy it defies. In brief episodes, aphorisms, and moments of spiritual turbulence and gentle scrutiny, reside a wealth of habits, worries, curiosities, pleasures, peculiarities, and efforts to understand.Representative of the modesty and complexity of Ida Vitale's poetic universe, Byobu flushes the world with meaning and playfully offers another way of inhabiting the every day.

A prowl through words reveals the unstable character of the cosmos.With entries as varied as 'elbow', 'Ophelia', 'progress', the painter Giorgio Morandi, 'chess', 'Eulalia' (a friend of the author's aunt), and 'unicorn', Ida Vitale constructs a dictionary of her long and passionately engaged artistic life. Taking the reader by the arm, she invites us to become her confidant, sharing her remarkable 20th century as a member of a storied generation of Latin American writers, of whom she is the last remaining alive. It's a compendium of friendship, travel, reading, and the endless opportunities she found for 'the joyful possibility of creation.' Like every dictionary, Lexicon of Affinities seeks to impose order on chaos, even if in its exuberant, whimsical profusion it lays bare the unstable character of the cosmos.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Lo importante esta debajo de las superficies, sospecha Byobu. Por eso escarba, escarba donde se le abra un espacio libre, donde pueda alcanzar un brazo de suelo sin arboles, sin casas, sin cascara. Hay una delicia en redescubrir lo cotidiano por medio del lenguaje rarificado de la lirica. Como si al nombrar lo comun con una precision extraordinaria surgieran no solo nuevos poemas, sino tambien nuevos mundos. Como si se llevara a cabo un acto de magia verbal que transforma la realidad desde sus engranajes mas profundos.El abc de Byobu juega con la figura del biombo (que en japones se relaciona con las raices de pantalla y viento) para entrever reflexiones sobre lo minimo y habitual, escritas desde la perspectiva de la palabra como umbral de posibilidades y como personaje de una conciencia original y ludica.A lo largo de treinta pasajes, Ida Vitale construye un universo amplisimo y calido, en el que el lector tiene la oportunidad de transformarse en un animal lingueistico y escapista que corra por estas paginas de la mano de la poesia.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIts whats below the surface thats important, Byobu suspects, searching until she manages to find a clear stretch of land without trees, houses or preconceptions.There is a special kind of delight in rediscovering the mundane through the rarified language of poetry. As if naming the commonplace with extraordinary precision resulted not only in new poems, but also new worlds, in a kind of verbal magic with the power to transform the very workings of reality.The title of this book plays with the idea of byobu, the Japanese screens used as decorations or room dividers. In Japanese, the term derives from the words for wall and wind. Vitale invokes it here in reflections on the trivial and habitual, stemming from the premise that words open a world of possibilities.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 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.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Garden of Silica is the first poetry anthology of the Uruguayan Ida Vitale to appear in English, spanning eight books published from 1960 to the present. Vitale is one of the fundamental voices of Latin American literature, and her work also encompasses essays, short stories, journalism, and translation. She belongs to Uruguay's Critical Generation of the 1940s, whose mission was the construction of a participative intellectual subject. Vitale's poetry illustrates the incompatibility of the construction of that intellectual subject and realism. It is not the case of an idealist aesthetic that denies the existence of objective reality or offers only a testimony of individuality. Rather, these texts seek a balance between subjectivity and objectivity, and accordingly the private and the public. In addition, with a revealing gesture of feminist undertones, intellectual capacity is privileged above that of sentimentality. As a result, Vitale's message is implicit, requiring an active reader, one involved in the very process of creation. Placing the intellectual subject at the forefront, and thus relegating the national and the feminine to a second plane, Ida Vitale's poetry offers one of the most profound and provocative representations of women's subjectivity in the Spanish language.
