...the poem's task is not to communicate but...to protect the secret place that resists all communication….
This book was weird. I don't understand what actually happened with the investigations. It did not make sense to me.

…Alejandra Pizarnik, describes prose as a house she does not have. It surprises me, I mean, that by making prose into a safe house, she refers to poetry, by sheer contrast, as exposure to the elements. A kind of danger. A defenselessness.

…the poem's task is not to communicate but…to protect the secret place that resists all communication…every effort of translation…that the tongue will never be an organ of resurrection, that words, as Pizarnik says…
"do not make love / they make absence"?
I’m finding #DeathTakesMe very hard work.
