Selected Verse: Revised Edition

By Federico García Lorca

Selected verse from the poet who "expanded the scope of lyric poetry" (Rafael Campo, The Washington Post).

The work of Federico García Lorca, Spain's greatest modernist poet, has long been admired for its emotional intensity and metaphorical brilliance. The revised Selected Verse, which incorporates changes made to García Lorca's Collected Poems, is an essential addition to any poetry lover's bookshelf. In this bilingual edition, García Lorca's poetic range comes clearly into view, from the playful Suites and stylized evocations of Andalusia to the utter gravity and mystery of the final elegies, confirming his stature as one of the twentieth century's finest poets.

Pretty incredible collection of poems. Lorca uses elements of nature particularly the moon which I absolutely loved. What made this book great is that the left hand was in Spanish and the right side pages were in translated English which made some of the English versions sound off. Being able to read the Spanish version made it clear why and I definitely recommend glancing over or even reading the Spanish in conjunction with the English to get the full effect of his poems.
