This is a story about a dead poet who was posthumously immortalised from obscurity by a rising star with a passion for literature, poetry and art. This is a story of the two men who brought them together. This is the story of the most celebrated Australian poet that never lived and the greatest literary hoax in our history.
Pizarnik was employed in the department of Philosophy and Letters at the Universidad de Buenos Aires where she published her first book of poetry, La tierra más ajena (1955). Pizarnik followed her debut work with two more volumes of poems, La última inocencia (1956) and Las aventuras perdidas (1958). Later she lived and worked in Paris before ending her life on September 25, 1972 at the age of 36.
