Russell Thornton's Reading Recommendation

Posted on October 4, 2016

I’ve been reading Extracting the Stone of Madness: Poems 1962-1972 for the past month.

I’d found other translations of bits and pieces of Pizarnik’s writing over the years (and tried in my stumbling way to read her work in the original Spanish); it was exciting to me to get hold of this comprehensive collection.
