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."" ""[The translations are] both ingenious and accurate, setting a very high standard for translation of verse from Spanish."" --Michael Wood, The New York Review of Books
