Abstract:
Alejandra Pizarnik was born and died in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1936¬1972). In her poetry, she went through romantic, symbolist and surrealist traditions. Her poetry was in charge of performing heartbreaking creative silence. Her failure to adapt herself to society makes her taking refuge in the language, going crazy within and dying in it. The poem and the word will be the only reality. The subject to study in this research work is based on Alejandra Pizarnik's literary production. The evolution of the language in her literary production, as well as the repeated symbols to create a new universe in the form of a microcosm or 'closed garden', will be analysed through her poetic texts. To do so, a reliable corpus is needed. This is the reason why Volume II of this research work involves the comparison of Alejandra Pizarnik's first editions, published while she was still alive, with the two editions of her 'whole' poetic work published by Cristina Piña in Corregidor and Anna Becciú in Lumen. Volume II of this essay does not try to be a critical edition neither definitive. It is only an approach to a possible fixing of A. Pizarnik's poetic texts due to some incongruities found in the criteria adopted in the editions of her previous complete poems.
