Ugly Duckling Presse, 2017. Trade Paperback. New. New. First published in 1955 and now translated for the first time into English, The Most Foreign Country is Alejandra Pizarnik's debut collection. Here, the nineteen-year-old poet begins to explore the themes that will shape and define her vision: the solitude of the poetic self, the longing for artistic depth, and the tenuous nearness of death. By turns probing and playful, bold and difficult, Pizarnik's earliest poems teem with an exuberant desire 'to grab hold of everything' and to create a language that tests the limits of origin, paradox, and death. ~ Publisher.
Ugly Duckling Presse, 2014. Trade Paperback. New. New. In 1962, Pizarnik published her fourth collection, Diana's Tree, the book that would both change and establish her poetic voice, and it contained the slimmest verses the poet would ever write. It also carried a glowing introduction by Octavio Paz, who by that point served as a prominent Mexican diplomat in Paris and had become a leader of the city's expatriate literary circles. Diana's Tree, wrote Paz, was a feat of alchemical prowess, a work of precocious linguistic transparency that let off "a luminous heat that could burn, smelt or even vaporize its skeptics." ~ Publisher.
Ugly Duckling Presse, 2019. Trade Paperback. New. New. The Last Innocence and The Lost Adventures are Alejandra Pizarnikâs second and third collections of poetry. Published in Buenos Aires shortly after The Most Foreign Countryâwhich she would later disavowâthese early poems blend the real and the imaginary, demonstrating the inner torment, deep solitude, and acute vulnerability that would plague Pizarnik throughout her short life. This edition includes new English-language translations of both books along with an introduction by poet, translator, and Pizarnik scholar Ana Becciu ~ Publisher.
