Biographical Sketch
Alejandra Pizarnik, also known as Flora Alejandra, was born to Russian
Jewish immigrant parents on April 29, 1936, in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires,
Argentina. When she was 20, a year after entering the department of philosophy
and letters at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, Pizarnik published her
first book of poetry, La tierra más ajena (1955). Soon after,
she left the university to study painting with Juan Batlle Planas. This
graphic arts experience influenced Pizarnik's poetry; she was conscientious
of the layout of words on the page almost like a drawing.(1)
Pizarnik followed her debut work with two more volumes of poems, La
última inocencia (1956) and Las adventuras perdidas (1958).
From 1960 to 1964 Pizarnik lived a frugal but happy and productive existence
in Paris. There she worked for the journal Cuadernos, sat on the
editorial board of the magazine Les Lettres Nouvelles, and participated
in the thriving Parisian literary world, meeting or befriending prominent
French and Latin American writers. Pizarnik also attended a variety of
courses at the Sorbonne, including contemporary French literature. The
freedom and inspiration of Paris encouraged Pizarnik's own literary production.
During this time she wrote Arból de Diana (1962, with a prologue
by Octavio Paz), as well as published other poems in French and Latin American
journals. Upon her return to Buenos Aires, Pizarnik published Los trabajos
y las noches (1965), which primarily consisted of poems composed in
Paris. This work went on to win both the Primer Premio Municipalidad de
Buenos Aires and the Fondo Nacional de las Artes. On the merits of her
writing, Pizarnik would later receive a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1969 and
a Fulbright in 1971.
Extracción de la piedra de locura (1968, containing writing
from 1962 to 1966) and El infierno musical (1971) have a different
tone than her earlier poetry; they are primarily characterized by darkness
and madness, two recurring themes in both Pizarnik's writing and life.
La
condesa sangrienta (1965), a work of prose loosely based on historic
fact, takes these themes one step further. In this text and other writings
from this period, Pizarnik explores her fascination with sadism, obscenity,
and the grotesque. Other themes in Pizarnik's poetry include depression,
alienation, and the difficulty of communication. These motifs combine to
produce poems full of internal torment and near-palpable pain. Not surprisingly,
she nurtured an obsession with suicide which would later become a self-fulfilling
prophesy.
On September 25, 1972, Pizarnik died of an overdose of Seconal while
at home for the weekend from a psychiatric clinic. Julio Cortázar,
Olga Orozco, and others paid homage to the thirty- six year old with poems
written in her honor. Even posthumously, Pizarnik's poetic voice continued
to be heard through the release of collections of her previously unpublished
writings.
Collection Description
Scope Note
Consists primarily of writings in the form of diaries (1954-1972), notebooks
(ca.1956- 1972), and poetry, fiction, and non-fiction manuscripts (195?-1972).
The diaries contain some text manuscripts in addition to the typical diary
entries, while the notebooks combine manuscripts, drawings, notes, and
letters. The majority of the poetry, fiction, and non-fiction manuscripts
are individually titled or identified by their first verse or line; but
there are others grouped together as per Pizarnik's original order or in
miscellaneous edited and unedited manuscript folders. The correspondence
received by Pizarnik is not extensive, but includes many Latin American
literary figures. There are also a few letters written by the poet to others,
as well as a small selection of artwork by Pizarnik and others, printed
material, and miscellanea.
Arrangement
The collection has been organized into the following series: I. Diaries;
II. Notebooks; III. Writings-A. Poetry, B. Fiction, C. Non-fiction; IV.
Correspondence; V. Artwork; VI. Printed Material; VII. Miscellaneous.
Added Entries
The following added entries have been assigned to this collection to
