SELECTED POEMS

Federico García Lorca is perhaps the most celebrated of all twentieth-century Spanish writers. Lorca's poetry is steeped in the land , climate, and folklore of his native Andalusia, though he writes memorably of New York and Cuba too. Writing often in modernist idiom, and full of startling imagery, he evokes a world of intense feelings, silent suffering, and dangerous love. Key poems from all L orca's collections appear here, including the recently discovered Sonnets of Dark Love.
