ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Alejandra Pizarnik's definitive biography, with new materials, documents, and interviews. Updated, extended, and revisited version of the only biography by an Argentinian author of the most disruptive poet of the twentieth century in the Spanish language. The work and influence of Alejandra Pizarnik continue to grow. Numerous readers from all around the world keep her literature alive, and more and more researchers study this still enigmatic poet. Cristina Piña wrote a first version of this biography thirty years ago, and today, collaborating with Patricia Venti, they render this extended edition with a huge number of new materials. The authors referred to the poet's complete journals, kept in Princeton University Library, along with her notebooks, manuscripts, letters, and plastic works. They had long conversations with friends of the poet, and specially with her sister, Myriam. They traveled to Paris to interview the family of her father's--ElÃas Pizarnik--brothers. One of them, Simón, welcomed Alejandra on several occasions at his Chatenay-Malabry home during her nearly four-year stay in the city. They also had access to Manuel Mujica Lainez and Silvina Ocampo's papers at Princeton, and to Djuna Barnes' at the University of Maryland, the three of them linked to the poet. Alejandra Pizarnik: Biography of a Myth joins the author's published works under the Lumen imprint.
