Selected Poems of Lorca

by Federico García Lorca, Donald M. Allen
Selected Poems of Lorca
Selected Poems of Lorca

Mesmerizing lyricism meets Spanish surrealist influences.

If you're drawn to poetic beauty that thrums with the vibrant heritage of Spain, Lorca's selected poems will speak to you. His work weaves together the folk traditions of Andalusia, the raw power of gypsy ballads, and the innovative spirit of surrealism courtesy of his friendships with the likes of Dali and Bunuel. The diverse range of translators including Hughes and Merwin also adds unique flavors to each piece, making this collection a rich, multi-faceted treasure.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Text in English & Spanish. The Selected Poems of Federico García Lorca has introduced generations of American readers to mesmerizing poetry since 1955. Lorca (1898-1937) is admired all over the world for the lyricism, immediacy and clarity of his poetry, as well as for his ability to encompass techniques of the symbolist movement with deeper psychological shadings. But Lorca's poems are, most of all, admired for their beauty. Undercurrents of his major influences--Spanish folk traditions from his native Andalusia and Granada, gypsy ballads, and his friends the surrealists Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel--stream throughout Lorca's work. Poets represented here as translators are as diverse as Stephen Spender, Langston Hughes, Ben Belitt, William Jay Smith, and W.S. Merwin.
