Description
Federico García Lorca's Poet in New York is a pivotal work of modern poetry that explores the city and its impact on his life. Written during his time at Columbia University in 1929-30, this insightful poetic cycle not only reflects Lorca's experiences but also changed the direction of poetry in both Spain and the Americas. This bilingual edition features new material, including photographs, letters, and an annotated prose poem, which have recently come to light. The book includes García Lorca's witty and insightful letters to his family describing his feelings about America, as well as extensive notes and an interpretive lecture by Lorca himself. A unique and thought-provoking work that offers a glimpse into the city in the twentieth century, Poet in New York is an excellent introduction to Lorca's poetry and a fascinating read for anyone interested in modern literature.
