No

In No, Idea Vilari o strips poetry to its essence--distilling love, loss, and the inexorable passage of time into spare yet searing verses. Renowned as a leading voice of Uruguay's "Generation of 45," Vilari o's final collection is at once a defiant refusal and an unrelenting assertion of existence. From its stark nihilism emerges a poetic voice that insists on being heard, even as it denies life's joys.

Now available in English for the first time, No has been masterfully translated by Mar a Jos Zubieta, in collaboration with poet and musicologist J. Martin Daughtry. This bilingual edition preserves Vilari o's rhythmic precision and existential intensity, giving readers a rare glimpse into a body of work that continues to resonate far beyond its origins. No is a testament to the power of poetry to confront the void, and to carve meaning from silence.
