Both of her own merit and as part of the Uruguayan writers group the Generation of '45--which included Onetti, Mario Benedetti, Amanda Berenguer, and Ida Vitale--Vilari?o is an essential South American poet, and part of a long tradition of Uruguayan women poets. Vilari?o and Onetti's love affair is one of the most famous in South American literature. Poemas de Amor is an intense book, full of poems about sexuality and what it means to be a woman, and stands as a testament to both the necessity and the impossibility of love. This translation brings these highly personal poems to English speaking audiences for the first time side-by-side with the original Spanish language versions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIdea Vilariño (1920 - 2009) \u003c\/b\u003ewas an Uruguayan poet and is still an essential figure in Latin American poetry. \u003ci\u003ePoemas de Amor\/ Love Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is her best known book, which is dedicated to the Uruguayan novelist Juan Carlos Onetti. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJesse Lee Kercheval \u003c\/b\u003eis a poet, writer and translator whose translations include \u003ci\u003eEl puente invisible\/ The Invisible Bridge: Selected Poems of Circe Maia\u003c\/i\u003e.
