Federico García Lorca

Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) was perhaps Spain's greatest poet and dramatist of the 20th century, and the most famous victim of its civil war. Lorca's approach to poetry combined traditional and modern forms and ideas. His struggle with his identity and the modern world permeates his work, and finds its most critically admired expression in Poet in New York.

His books include Poet in New York, Gypsy Ballads, and the play Blood Wedding. I've translated several Lorca poems from Spanish into English. If you find fault with, or have comments on either of the translations, feel free to email me at ben @ haydenharnett.com. to keep this page online, and to keep the translations coming.
