Selected Verse

Federico Garcia Lorca is widely considered to be Spain's greatest modern poet. This comprehensive, bilingual anthology of his poetry -- the most complete ever to appear in English -- features poetry drawn from every book of poems Lorca published in his lifetime, and includes the work of a number of outstanding translators. Publishers' Weekly wrote: "This authoritative edition displays Lorca's extraordinary range and power, documents his aesthetic and technical evolution, and restablishes him as a consummate poet of desire, drama, and death. ...Lorca's singular voice, fiercely emotional and imagistically brilliant, shines through in all its vivid intelligence."
