Alejandra Pizarnik

[axolotl]

hi! i'm new at the forum. first: sorry my bad english. well, i have searched her name and i have find no thread about her, so i thought it was a good idea creating one.
Alejandra was an argentinian poet, friend of Octavio Paz and Julio Cortázar. I recommend to start with "Tree of Diana". I tried to translate some poems of her. she has born in 1936 and kill herself on 1972.

Jump with the shirt on flames,
to star to star,
to fade to fade.
Die of a distant death
she who loves the wind.
