Diana''s Tree: Arbol de Diana

English, Spanish

By (author): Alejandra Pizarnik

Translated by: Anna Deeny Morales

Diana's Tree is an important book - written in Paris, where she lived for four years - and the first really mature work (1963) by Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972), increasingly recognised as one of the major poetic voices of the second half of the 20th century in Latin America. Reading Anna Deeny Morales's incisive translation of Alejandra Pizarnik is like experiencing Walter de Maria's Lightning Field - not in the New Mexico desert, but inside you. Psychologically strained and emotionally saturated, Pizarnik's poetry has electrified readers for more than sixty years. As gnomic, dreamy, passionate, and dark as the originals, Deeny's translations leave you singed- and glowing. - Forrest Gander See more

About Alejandra Pizarnik

Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972) was born in Buenos Aires to Russian Jewish immigrant parents. She studied at the University of Buenos Aires before dropping out to concentrate on painting and her own poetry. She moved to Paris in 1960 where she got to know Octavio Paz Julio Cortazar and Silvina Ocampo. Now regarded as one of Argentina's most powerful and intense lyric poets of the mid-20th century Pizarnik's sometimes bleak themes - cruelty and death run prominently in her work - reflect her own personal torments some deriving from her amphetamine dependency. Pizarnik published a number of poetry collections in her lifetime as well as essays. Her work has been extensively translated in recent years reflecting the recovery of her work by non-Hispanic readers and her growing international reputatio.
