About the author

Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5 1898; died near Granada, August 19 1936, García Lorca is one of Spain's most deeply appreciated and highly revered poets and dramatists. His murder by the Nationalists at the start of the Spanish civil war brought sudden international fame, accompanied by an excess of political rhetoric which led a later generation to question his merits; after the inevitable slump, his reputation has recovered (largely with a shift in interest to the less obvious works). He must now be bracketed with Machado as one of the two greatest poets Spain has produced in the 20th century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.

He leído la Antología poética de Lorca de la colección Aljibe, con un breve prólogo de Ian Gibson y edición, introducción y notas de José Luis V. Ferris.
Me ha parecido una buena antología, que me ha aportado una visión general de la obra poética de Lorca más completa y un mayor conocimiento sobre la persona y los sentimientos del autor.
Leer a Federico García Lorca es un impulso vital, que se construye con dolor, vida, muerte, amor, belleza, libertad y dignidad.

"Lo demás todo pasa.
Rubor sin nombre ya. Astro perpetuo.
Lo demás es lo otro; viento triste,
mientras las hojas huyen en bandadas "
