Description
Out of print for decades, this collection of poems by American poet Jack Spicer is a tribute to Federico García Lorca. It includes translations of Lorca's work and showcases Spicer's unique style, which combines humor, intelligence, and desolation. Spicer's poetry is characterized by its innovative approach to language, resulting in poems that are both humorous and profound. This collection, first published in 1957, has had a significant influence on American poetry and continues to be celebrated for its originality and power. Despite the poet's intentions, some of Lorca's original poems have been altered, leading to a unique blend of styles. Nevertheless, this collection remains a fascinating exploration of language and meaning, offering readers a glimpse into the innovative spirit of mid-twentieth-century American poetry.
