jebrahn’s Reviews > The Collected Poems A Bilingual Edition by García Lorca, Federico [Farrar, Straus and Giroux,2002] (Paperback) Revised edition > Status Update

Lorca's poetry is incredible, but the translations can be very poor, completely neglecting the entendres, rhymes, and play in the Spanish language. This is a disappointment rather than a delight as a bi-lingual reader. The only delight is in playing the puzzle of how I would have translated it better to maintain Lorca's bright observations.
