Paperback. Condition: New. "An aura of legendary prestige surrounds the work of Alejandra Pizarnik," writes César Aira. Her last collection to be published before her suicide in 1972, A Musical Hell is the first book of poems by Pizarnik to be published in its entirety in the U.S. Pizarnik writes at the edge of poetic impossibility, opening with a blues singer, expanding into silence, and closing into a theater of shadows and songs of the drowned.

Paperback. Condition: New. The Galloping Hour: French Poems-never before rendered in English and unpublished during her lifetime-gathers for the first time all the poems that Alejandra Pizarnik (revered by Octavio Paz and Roberto Bolaño) wrote in French. Conceived during her Paris sojourn (1960-1964) and in Buenos Aires (1970-1971) near the end of her tragically short life, these poems explore many of Pizarnik's deepest obsessions: the limitation of language, silence, the body, night, sex, and the nature of intimacy.Drawing from personal life experiences and echoing readings of some of her beloved/accursed French authors-Charles Baudelaire, Germain Nouveau, Arthur Rimbaud, and Antonin Artaud-this collection includes prose poems that Pizarnik would later translate into Spanish. Pizarnik's work led Raúl Zurita to note: "Her poetry-with a clarity that becomes piercing-illuminates the abysses of emotional sensitivity, desire, and absence. It presses against our lives and touches the most exposed, fragile, and numb parts of humanity.".

Paperback. Condition: New. Revered by the likes of Octavio Paz and Roberto Bolaño, Alejandra Pizarnik is still a hidden treasure in the U.S. Extracting the Stone of Madness: Poems 1962-1972 comprises all of her middle to late work, as well as a selection of posthumously published verse. Obsessed with themes of solitude, childhood, madness and death, Pizarnik explored the shifting valences of the self and the border between speech and silence. In her own words, she was drawn to "the suffering of Baudelaire, the suicide of Nerval, the premature silence of Rimbaud, the mysterious and fleeting presence of Lautréamont," as well as to the "unparalleled intensity" of Artaud's "physical and moral suffering.".

Paperback. Condition: New. Diana's Tree is an important book - written in Paris, where she lived for four years - and the first really mature work (1963) by Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972), increasingly recognised as one of the major poetic voices of the second half of the 20th century in Latin America. "Reading Anna Deeny Morales's incisive translation of Alejandra Pizarnik is like experiencing Walter de Maria's Lightning Field - not in the New Mexico desert, but inside you. Psychologically strained and emotionally saturated, Pizarnik's poetry has electrified readers for more than sixty years. As gnomic, dreamy, passionate, and dark as the originals, Deeny's translations leave you singed- and glowing. " - Forrest Gander.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sombria, orgullosa, llena de suturas y de grietas, la obra pizarnikiana responde a una estructura del deseo. -Maria Negroni En el prologo a esta Prosa completa de la mitica poeta argentina Alejandra Pizarnik, Ana Nuno nos habla de este libro imprescindible en los siguientes terminos: El interes que presenta esta edicion, respecto del ominoso imperativo de la novedad editorial, es triple: ofrece una ordenacion cronologica de un material que en su momento fue recogido en volumen, tanto en Argentina como en Espana; rescata textos, sobre todo, mas no exclusivamente, de critica literaria de la autora, publicados originalmente en revistas literarias de dificil consulta, y da a leer este conjunto como un todo, lo que permite subrayar la coherencia y correspondencias multiples entre prosa de creacion y prosa ensayistica, por un lado, y, por otro, entre el conjunto de la prosa y la obra poetica. Los relatos [estan] cuajados de motivos y figuras recurrentes la obra poetica: la seduccion y la nostalgia imposibles, la tentacion del silencio, la escritura concebida como espacio ceremonial donde se exaltan la vida, la libertad y la muerte, la infancia y sus espejismos, los espejos y el doble amenazador [.]. Importa menos, en este sentido, la extension de los relatos que la intensa concentracion en ellos de un trabajo de escritura que busca exaltar los poderes del lenguaje. Este es y no la muerte o la locura o el suicidio el gran motor de la obra de Pizarnik.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONSomber, proud, full of cracks and sutures, Pizarniks work is structured by desire. -Maria Negroni In the prologue to the Complete Prose of the legendary Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik, Ana Nuno introduces this essential volume as follows: The significance of this edition, in terms of the ominous imperative demanded of any new release, is threefold: It offers a chronological ordering of material that was collected in bulk from Argentina and Spain; it salvages examples of the authors literary criticism and much more published originally in obscure literary journals; and it allows this collection to be read as a whole, underscoring the coherence and multiple connections between, on the one hand, [Pizarniks] creative prose and essays, and, on the other, her prose and poetry. Her stories feature the same recurring figures and motifs of her poems: seduction and nostalgia; the temptation of silence; writing as a ceremonial act that exalts life, death and freedom; childhood and its mirages; mirrors and ominous doppelgaengers [.]. The length of these pieces is less important than their emphasis on exalting the power of language. This not death, madness or suicide was what drove Pizarniks work.
