Editorial Review: 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."
Reader Reviews for The Collected Poems: A Bilingual Edition (Revised): Customer Rating: Summary: Good translations Comment: The translations in this book tend to be very good, considering the limitations of translating verse as opposed to prose or technical translations. Of course, one must learn Spanish in order to enjoy the rhythms of the original poems, but overall the translations are some of the best I've ever seen, especially of Romancer Gitano. If you love the poetry of Lorca, but cannot share it with someone who only speaks English, this book is perfect for them, and perhaps it will inspire them to learn Spanish. Customer Rating: Summary: Great collection and translations of such a magical poet Comment: Lorca's poems flutter your heart, and Christopher Mauer really knows Lorca, the translations are true to Lorca's magic. Customer Rating: Summary: Great poems, adequate translation Comment: Garcia Lorca's poems are beautiful in Spanish. The translations in English seem a little heavy or awkward. But, in Spanish, they're lovely. Customer Rating: Summary: Spanish made easy Comment: I don't know if this is the best way to work on learning Spanish, but it's certainly one of the least painful. It's great to have the original Spanish and the English translation opposite each other. I can't think of a better way to work on your pronunciation than to read these poems out loud to yourself [or others if they're interested]. The musical sound of the poetry makes you love the language and want to learn it. Maybe someday I finally will. In the meantime just reading and speaking it is it's own reward. Customer Rating: Summary: Poetry of Lorca is superb! Comment: I usually find most modern poetry boring. Not Lorca's. His poems are short but potent and piercing, full of vivid imagery. His Spanish is difficult to translate literally into English while still retaining vibrancy, but this translator did a good job. The Spanish poetry is presented on the left-hand pages and its English version on the right-hand pages for easy comparison. Not a literal translation by any means, but a very effective one. A strong recommend.
