I liked the shorter form stuff. ( )

It is really hard to describe the emotions that Pizarnik evokes in her writing. Although it is repetitive at times (and not in the "clever" way, really), her work reflects a raw emotion that showcases the suffering, joy and madness that she lived with in her short life.
I must add that the translation is close to the actual content. Although some parts were not translated correctly, it still carried the weight of Pizarnik's words.

Alejandra is not for everyone. I definitely recommend to give her work a chance if you have read Julio Cortazar or Octavio Paz in the past. An open-mind is needed before going deeper into the thoughts of the Argentinian poet.

I obtained a free copy of the book in exchange of an honest review through Goodreads. ( )

Alejandra Pizarnik nació en Buenos Aires en 1939 y en esa misma ciudad abandonó voluntariamente la vida en 1972, y desde entonces ha pasado a ser una de las voces > más representativas de la poesía en la lengua española.
