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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455762677996,"sku":"9780811227742","price":31.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/61XyXMiJfzL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774797496"},{"product_id":"extracting-the-stone-of-madness-by-alejandra-pizarnik-9780811223966","title":"Extracting the Stone of Madness","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevered by the likes of Octavio Paz and Roberto Bolaño, Alejandra Pizarnik is still a hidden treasure in the U.S. \u003cem\u003eExtracting the Stone of Madness: Poems 1962-1972\u003c\/em\u003e comprises all of her middle to late work, as well as a selection of posthumously published verse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eObsessed with themes of solitude, childhood, madness, and death, Pizarnik explored the shifting valences of the self and the border between speech and silence.
