Alejandra Pizarnik: the exile of the language

The work investigates the relationship with language in Alejandra Pizarnik under three aspects: the confrontation between the forms of Spanish and those of French (she reads the baroque of the Golden Age simultaneously with the cursed poets, the surrealists and some other French poets); the tension between verse and prose (or poetry and the novel, the lyrical and the fictional); and the counterpoint between humor and tragedy. These three axes are fundamental in her conception and her construction of poetic language and have aesthetic effects that will be analyzed in this article.
