En lo más implacable de la noche
Idea Vilariño

Poetry
In SPANISH

Vilariño's poetry rather than talking about loneliness and abandonment, breathes them, touches them, suffers them in each line of a silent biography whose chapters are lost or distant paradises: childhood, love, a less desolate world. The intensity of life and its ethical outlook are the opposite side of scepticism. Her love poetry, widely celebrated, names sex with unprecedented courage, tracing a deep communication between the ecstasy of love and a delicate and bold eroticism.

Idea Vilariño (Montevideo, 18 August 1920 – 28 April 2009) was an Uruguayan poet, essayist and literary critic.

She belonged to the group of intellectuals known as "Generación del 45". In this generation, there are several writers such as Juan Carlos Onetti, Mario Benedetti, Sarandy Cabrera, Carlos Martínez Moreno, among others.

She also worked as a translator, composer and lecturer.
