  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;A reissue of a landmark poetry volume with a new introduction by Pulitzer Prize winner W. S. Merwin. Bilingual.&lt;/B&gt;  &lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Selected Poems of Federico Garc&#237;a Lorca&lt;/I&gt; has introduced generations of American readers to mesmerizing poetry since 1955. Lorca (1898-1937) is admired all over the world for the lyricism, immediacy and clarity of his poetry, as well as for his ability to encompass techniques of the symbolist movement with deeper psychological shadings. But Lorca's poems are, most of all, admired for their beauty. Undercurrents of his major influences&amp;#151;Spanish folk traditions from his native Andalusia and Granada, gypsy ballads, and his friends the surrealists Salvador Dali and Luis Bu&#241;uel&amp;#151;stream throughout Lorca's work. Poets represented here as translators are as diverse as Stephen Spender, Langston Hughes, Ben Belitt, William Jay Smith, and W.S. Merwin.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Lorca's poetry should be read aloud, in Spanish, perhaps in a smoky Tablao with full flamenco accompaniment. This edition is good in that the English translation appears opposite the original. And they're pretty good at conveying the mystery and passion of Lorca's beloved Andalucia.

    <body><![CDATA[Great collection of poetry, and a great introduction to Lorca.  Some of the translations are clunky, but fortunately all the Spanish prose is intact.  Oda a Walt Whitman, the last poem (can't remember the name offhand) and Romance de la Guardia Civil are utterly fantastic.  A lot of repeating themes...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30629250">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Probably my favorite poet. I have set several of his songs for an odd sort of quartet...extremely lyrical. I wish I spoke Spanish so I could read them in their original beauty, but this collection is well-translated and has a great introduction by Merwin. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Some of the translations read as pretty stiff, which made it difficult to enter the lush &amp; unfamiliar world of Lorca's poems.  Overall, though - I love his ability to blend the mystery of the lyric with the weight of history, of war &amp; loss.]]></body>
