Revered by the likes of Octavio Paz and Roberto Bolano, Alejandra
Pizarnik is still a hidden treasure in the U.S. Extracting the
Stone of Madness: Poems 1962 1972 unearths this extraordinary poet
for English readers in a bilingual edition that spans the heights
of Pizarnik s oeuvre. In her brief life, Pizarnik produced an
astonishingly powerful body of work. 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 Lautreamont, as well as to the unparalleled intensity of Artaud
s physical and moral suffering. Obsessed with themes of solitude,
childhood, madness, and death, Pizarnik explores the shifting
valences of the self and the vague border between speech and
silence. This compilation of poems includes the full collections of
her middle to late work, as well as a selection of posthumously
published verse."
