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."

- Reunidos, por primera vez, todos los textos en prosa de la mítica poeta argentina Alejandra Pizarnik. En el prólogo a esta Prosa completa de la mítica poeta argentina Alejandra Pizarnik, Ana Nuño nos habla de este libro imprescindible y esperadísimo en los siguientes términos: "El interés que presenta esta edición, respecto del ominoso imperativo de la novedad editorial, es triple: ofrece una ordenación cronológica de un material que en su momento fue recogido en volumen, tanto en Argentina como en España; rescata textos, sobre todo, más nos exclusivamente, de crítica literaria de la autora, publicados originalmente en revistas literarias de difícil consulta, y da a leer este conjunto como un todo, lo que le permite subrayar la coherencia y correspondencias múltiples entre prosa de creación y prosa ensayística, por un lado, y, por otro, entre el conjunto de la prosa y la obra poética. "Conviene destacar dos aspectos de la prosa de Pizarnik. Los relatos, en primer lugar, cuajados de motivos y figuras recurrentes en la obra poética: la seducción y la nostalgia imposibles, la tentación 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 extensión de los relatos que la intensa concentración en ellos de un trabajo de escritura que busca exaltar los poderes del lenguaje. Éste es -y no la muerte o la locura o el suicidio- el gran motor de la obra de Pizarnik."Reseñas: "Un hecho excepcional en la literatura argentina, que puede adjudicarse al aura de prestigio casi legendario que ha envuelto la vida y la obra de Alejandra Pizarnik." César Aira "Al encanto de Pizarnik de ser una figura envuelta en el misterio y una personalidad inexplicable, hay que añadir el hecho de que palabra por palabra ella escribía la noche, y el lector que se acerque a ella descubrirá que esa escritura nocturna, que tenía un alto sentido del riesgo, nacía de la más pura necesidad, como a pocos escritores del siglo XX se les ha visto: una lírica extrema y también una tragedia." Enrique Vila-Matas, Babelia "Alrededor de una obra breve, se despliega una constelación que va conformando la imagen deuna de las poetas más leídas, comentadas y hasta mitificadas de la segunda mitad del siglo XX." Edgardo Dobry, El País "Una escritura que no acaba nunca." Winston Manrique Sabogal, El País "Una figura de culto y una autora que se internó en infiernos raramente visitados en la literatura española." Rosa Martí, Esquire"Sumergirse en la intimidad de la gran poeta argentina es adentrarse en las arenas movedizas de una pulsión suicida. [.] Así es su escritura: el constante descubrimiento de una rosa con espinas. [.] Se la lee de poco en poco, como quien paladea un vino añejo." Rocío Niebla, Tinta Libre "Pizarnik nos descubreun éxtasis en la inestabilidad del lenguaje y logra arrancarle una verdad mercurial y patética." Los Angeles Review of Books "Basta nombrarla para que en el aire vibren la poesía y la leyenda. Una lírica extrema y también una tragedia." Luis Chitarroni

Paperback. 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 Bolano) wrote in French. Conceived during her Paris sojourn (19601964) and in Buenos Aires (19701971) 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 Raul 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." A beautifully produced and exquisitely translated edition of French poems by the best exponent of the poetry of introversion and metaphorical delirium (Italo Calvino) Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
