The Galloping Hour: French Poems presents an extraordinary collection of poetry by the legendary Alejandra Pizarnik, showcasing verses never before translated into English. This unique anthology contains all of Pizarnik’s French poems, posthumously published and beautifully rendered for the first time ever. Spanning her creative journey during her time in Paris from 1960 to 1964 and later in Buenos Aires from 1970 to 1971, these poems reflect her deep engagement with themes of language, silence, intimacy, and the body, providing a heartfelt exploration of human experience. This collection resonates with the influences of Pizarnik's literary idols, including Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud, and Antonin Artaud, echoing her rich literary imagination. The prose poems contained within also highlight her ability to delve into emotional depths, as noted by Rau?l Zurita, who described her work as illuminating “the abysses of emotional sensitivity, desire, and absence.” Perfect for enthusiasts of modern poetry and those seeking to explore the profound insights of a poet revered in both Spanish and French literary traditions, this brand-new edition is a must-have addition to any poetry lover's library.

Description:


The Galloping Hour: French Poems”never before rendered in English and unpublished during her lifetime”gathers for the first time all the poems that Alejandra Pizarnik (revered by Octavio Paz and Roberto Bolan~o) wrote in French.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 of intimacy.


Drawing from personal life experiences and echoing readings of some of her beloved/accursed French authors”Charles Baudelaire, Germain Nouveau, Arthur Rimbaud, and Antonin Artaud”this collection includes prose poems that Pizarnik would later translate into Spanish. Pizarnik's work led Rau?l Zurita to note: "Her poetry”with a clarity that becomes piercing”illuminates the abysses of emotional sensitivity, desire, and absence. It presses against our lives and touches the most exposed, fragile, and numb parts of humanity."

Effective sunscreen protection
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
This product goes on smooth under makeup or by itself. It works great! I have applied the sunscreen at 8:00 in the morning and been in and out of the sun throughout the day and received no sunburn. I felt confident my skin was protected all day.

Wonderful sunscreen, but pricey
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
I love this sunscreen. I use it as a daily moisturizer for my face and hands. After I gently rub it on, my skin looks more supple without any greasy residue. I've been using it for years, and I'm told that I look younger than my age (68). And not just from those who are looking to complement me, but from my new dermatologist. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that its current price is out of my league. But for those who can afford it, EltaMD is a winner.

The best sunscreen I’ve ever tried!
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
Disclaimer: I have used many different sunscreens and brands without finding anything I really liked. First time using Elta MD UV clear sunscreen and I am in love with it. I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and avoid chemical sunscreens because they burn my skin. The moment I put on this sunscreen it was creamy and unscented. It really absorbed into my skin and left no greasy residue. A few minutes after applying I was able to touch my face with no residue or product coming off on my hand. I do find this product a tad expensive but I feel that it is worth the price and it will be my go to sunscreen.

Impressed!
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
Just got back from a week in Florida at Disney World and this sunscreen was fantastic. I have spent hours researching different products, reading reviews and trying different things and decided to try this on my mature, acne prone skin. I applied it in the morning before leaving the hotel and once more in the middle of the day and it protected my skin from the extreme heat and sun and did not cause any breakouts. It did not run and does not cause a white cast. I would highly recommend this product!

A Daily Essential – Lightweight & Fast-Absorbing
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
I've made this my go-to sunscreen and use it every single day. What sets it apart is the texture – it's smooth and applies beautifully without any sticky residue, which is a game-changer for daily wear under makeup or on its own. The absorption is impressively fast. I can apply it in the morning and not feel like I'm waiting around for it to dry down. It sinks in quickly and leaves my skin feeling clean and protected, not weighed down. For sensitive skin, this is exactly what I needed. This is a must-have in my routine. Highly recommend if you're looking for a lightweight, non-sticky sunscreen that actually works.
