It is dedicated to the prestigious literary critic Jorge Cruz, who developed a renowned career for more than four decades in the prestigious newspaper LA NACION, where he began as a theatre critic. In 1957 he joined the Literary Supplement. There he contributed to disseminate the work of prestigious writers and made new authors known. Alejandra Pizarnik, in full Flora Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972, Buenos Aires) was an Argentine poet whose poems are known for their stifling sense of exile and rootlessness. Pizarnik was born into a family of Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe. She attended the University of Buenos Aires, where she studied philosophy and literature. Later she ventured into painting, studying with the Catalan Argentine painter Juan Batlle Planas. In 1960 she moved to Paris, where she worked for French publishing houses and magazines, published poetry, and translated into Spanish works of such writers as Henri Michaux, Antonin Artaud, Marguerite Duras, and Yves Bonnefoy. In 1965 she returned to Buenos Aires and published three of her eight collections of poetry, Los trabajos y las noches (1965; "The Works and the Nights"), Extracción de la piedra de la locura (1968; "Extraction of the Stone of Madness [or Folly]"), and El infierno musical (1971; "The Musical Hell"), as well as her famous prose work La condesa sangrienta (1965; "The Bloody Countess"), about the Hungarian countess Elizabeth Báthory. Pizarnik s first editions with inscriptions are seldom found.
