Poesía completa

Few Spanish-language authors have lived literature as Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) did. It is difficult to know how far he could have taken his work, but in barely eighteen years, from his first writings to his tragic execution in Víznar after the outbreak of the Civil War, Lorca became an excellent prose writer, one of our greatest 20th-century playwrights, and a universal poet. This volume brings together all of his poetic works. In the immortal verses between *Libro de poemas* (1921) and *Sonetos del amor oscuro* (1936), Lorca's entire imaginary world unfolds, a world that moves between the local and the universal, between Andalusian gypsies and the cosmopolitan life of New York, between the popular and the refined, between the incisive word and the most beautiful metaphor. This is the poetic legacy - monumental and tragic - of one who is undoubtedly one of the greatest figures in our literature.
