The 2010 bilingual edition of Point of Contact, focuses on the life and verse of the Argentine poet, Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972), a leading feminine voice in contemporary Latin American letters. Based on a series of letters from Alejandra, all unpublished until now, the book approaches Pizarnik's poetry through an intimate dialogue and a series of critical and visual texts, including works by Olga Orozco, Fiona Mackintosh, Susana Chávez-Silverman, Madeleine Stratford, Tamara Kamenszain, Silvia Baron Supervielle, and María Negroni. Visual texts by Graciela Sacco, Nayda Collazo-Llorens, and Patricia Bentancur.
