Long thought of as a modern poet with minimal connection to any one tradition, I re-imagine her as a poet of Judaism, language and childhood through close readings of works, many poemas en prosa, written late in her life and after her father's death. This thesis has three chapters: (1) Images of the Artist; (2) New Readings of Pizarnik (Prose) Poems; and (3) Translating Pizarnik (Prose) Poems. In the first chapter I examine notions of Pizarnik created by critics and by the public, then move to re-imagining her as a poet in a new lens. In chapter 2, close-readings of prose poems substantiate those claims made in my re-imagining. Finally, chapter 3 provides annotated translations of five poems, four previously untranslated-Los muertos y la lluvia (The Dead and the Rain), Dificultades barrocas (Baroque Difficulties), Desconfianza (Distrust), Devoci n (Devotion), and the only poem in verse, Poema para el padre (Poem for my Father). My interpretation of Pizarnik is influenced by concepts including, J. Lacan's 'desire, ' Bachelard's 'poetics of internal space, ' Turner's 'liminality, ' and Borges' 'infidelity in translation, ' amongst others. Ultimately, I hope this reading of the complicated poet succeeds in recovering essential aspects of her cuerpo poetico (poetic body of work).\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Grin Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50367462244626,"sku":"9783656224662","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_68daf763-dff0-49e8-b0ce-46eca49e092a.jpg?v=1728493408","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/translating-and-reimagining-recovering-pizarnik-in-her-late-prose-works-9783656224662","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
