Reason Enough
Ida Vitale
Translated from Spanish by Sarah Pollack
Ida Vitale’s Reason Enough, translated by Sarah Pollack, belongs on the shelf as more than a data point from Uruguay. It carries Ida Vitale’s reasoned clarity, where thought and lyric precision meet without losing the pulse of lived experience. The best entries in a translated poetry library do not merely point to a country, language, or press; they give a reader a reason to linger with the strangeness of another voice. This is the kind of book I would describe through atmosphere first and certainty second. Let the work be partial, difficult, plainspoken, excessive, or mysterious on its own terms before turning it into a lesson.
