Collected Poems
Author: Federico García Lorca
Desc: A revised edition of this major writer's complete poetical work "And I who was walking with the earth at my waist saw two snowy eagles and a naked girl. The one was the other and the girl was neither." --from "Qasida of the Dark Doves" Federico García Lorca is the greatest poet of twentieth-century Spain and one of the world's most influential modernist writers. Christopher Maurer a leading Lorca scholar and editor has substantially revised FSG's earlier edition of the collected poems of this charismatic and complicated figure who--as Maurer says in his illuminating Introduction--"spoke unforgettably of all that most interests us: the otherness of nature the demons of personal identity and artistic creation sex childhood and death."
