Federico Garcia Lorca 5 Poems from Poet in New York
Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936) From Poet in New York
In his prefatory remarks before an audience assembled for a reading of Poet in New York in Buenos Aires in 1933, Garcia Lorca said, “I bring you a bitter and living poetry to lash your eyes open.“ [1]
Born June 5, 1898 near Granada, Federico Garcia Lorca’s mother was a pianist [2] and school teacher. [3] His father was a landowner with interests in the sugar trade. [4] Garcia Lorca spent summers in the countryside of Granada. When mature, he wrote, “I love the land. All my emotions tie me to it. The first memories I have are of the earth.“ [5] He was first interested in music. He started writing after the death of his piano teacher, [6] and first wrote poetry before he was twenty. [7]
He had been interested in Andalusian folk music and incorporated it into his writing. But he was concerned about becoming “typecast“ as a “gypsy poet.“ [12]
