Ida Vitale (born November 2, 1923) is a Uruguayan writer, poet, translator and literary critic. In 2018, she was awarded the Miguel de Cervantes Prize. Vitale fled to Mexico City in 1973 for political asylum after a military junta took power in Uruguay. She played an important role in the Uruguayan art movement known as the 'Generation of 45'.[1]
