Summary

The passionate life and violent death of Federico Garciacute;a Lorca (18981936) retain an enduring fascination for readers around the world. Murdered by Nationalists at the outset of the Spanish Civil War, Lorca died at the peak of his creative powers. This selection of highlights from his 1921 Libro de poemas comprises 55 poems, all of them in their entirety and in their original sequence. Imbued with the spirit and folklore of the poet's native Andalusia, these verses feature the most complex spiritual content of any of Lorca's works. An informative introduction examines the author's life and oeuvre, and the editor provides notes on the individual poems.
