The Galloping Hour: French Poems --never before rendered in English and unpublished during her lifetime--gathers for the first time all the Poems that Alejandra Pizarnik (revered by Octavio Paz and Roberto Bolano) wrote in French.
Conceived during her Paris sojourn (1960-1964) and in Buenos Aires (1970-1971) near the end of her tragically short life, these Poems explore many of Pizarnik\'s deepest obsessions: the limitation of language, silence, the body, night, sex, and the nature.
