About the author

Alejandra Pizarnik

118 books2,236 followers
Born in Buenos Aires to Jewish parents who had fled Eastern Europe (namely Rivne, a city which was Polish at the time and is Ukrainian today) and the Nazi Holocaust, Alejandra Pizarnik was destined for literary greatness as well as an early death. She died from an ostensibly self-administered overdose of barbiturates on 25 September 1972. A few words scribbled on a slate that same month, reiterating her desire to go nowhere "but to the bottom," sum up her lifelong aspiration as a human being and as a writer. The compulsion to head for the "bottom" or "abyss" points to her desire to surrender to nothingness in an ultimate experience of ecstasy and poetic fulfillment in which life and art would be fused, albeit at her own risk. "Ojalá pudiera vivir solamente en éxtasis, haciendo el cuerpo del poema con mi cuerpo" (If I could only live in nothing but ecstasy, making the body of the poem with my body).

Me gusto, lo queria desde hace rato, pensé q sería más difícil leerlo por q es poesía pero lo termine en 4 días, fue entretenido, me identifiqué con muchas cosas, lo único q me agobio fue el final, MUCHO TEXTO, un poco explícito, el índice está en el final, eso me gusto pero son TREINTA páginas de índice, lol, páginas q pudieron utilizar para más poesía, esperaba algo un poco mejor (perdón pero es la verdad)

Me encantó. Al comprarlo, alguien me preguntó: "¿Y cómo se lee Alejandra Pizarnik?" Le respondí: "De muchas maneras, pero es mejor a solas y en la oscuridad."
