Collected Poems: Revised Bilingual Edition

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 García 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."
