I can't really remember what the issues were,but it would be nice if that all came out. Of course Susan Bassnet translated a bunch of her poetry as well some 20 yrs ago in her slightly weird book (includes her own poetic responses to Pizarnik). And then there's the selected from the 80s.

She has translated a bunch more but it seems to be being held up.
