Summary

50.º ANIVERSARIO DE SU MUERTE, UN DIARIO ÍNTIMO EN TORNO A LA VIDA DE ALEJANDRA PIZARNIK, CON EL INCONFUNDIBLE ESTILO DE UNA DE LAS GRANDES AUTORAS DE GRÁFICA DE HOY

PRÓLOGO DE LUNA MIGUEL
 
En pleno episodio de agorafobia y tras una ruptura amorosa, la protagonista de esta historia decide sumergirse en la enigmática vida de Alejandra Pizarnik, en cuyos diarios y poemas encuentra las palabras exactas para describir sus temores. Hasta que la poeta irrumpe en su apartamento sin previo aviso, con su abrigo negro e inundándolo todo de versos, papelitos llenos de palabras y humo de cigarrillos. Con ella también llegan las flores, los discos de jazz y una multitud de escritores que se mezclan con los platos sin fregar, las cajas de ansiolíticos y antidepresivos, y las copas de vino. ¿Podrá ayudarla la historia de la poeta mítica a comprender sus propios miedos y reconducir su vida?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

50TH ANNIVERSARY OF HER DEATH, AN INTIMATE DIARY ABOUT THE LIFE OF ALEJANDRA PIZARNIK, WITH THE UNMISTAKABLE STYLE OF ONE OF TODAY'S GREAT GRAPHIC AUTHORS.

PROLOGUE BY LUNA MIGUEL
 
In the middle of an agoraphobia episode and after a breakup, the protagonist decides to immerse herself in the enigmatic life of Alejandra Pizarnik, in whose diaries and poems she finds the exact words to describe her fears. Until she sees the poet burst into her apartment without any warning, wearing her black coat and flooding everything with verses, small pieces of paper filled with words, and cigarette smoke. With it also come flowers, jazz records, and a multitude of writers who share the space with unwashed dishes, boxes of anxiolytics and antidepressants, and glasses of wine.
 
Can the story of the mythical poet help her understand her own fears and redirect her life?
