Federico Garc A Lorca Selected Suites

A generous selection and fresh translation of Lorca’s suites, work that might have taken its place beside Songs (1927) and Poem of the Deep Song (1931) as a trilogy of Lorca’s early modernist lyric. More personal than the other two works, Lorca’s suites explore a ‘heart without echo’ in his time.

Suites is one of the most charming and melodious of all of Lorca's poem series. Written early in his career, most of these poems remained unpublished during his lifetime and were later reassembled from notebooks. The first appearance of this work in English was in a small chapbook, entitled Suites, and in the Collected Poems of 1988; but the current edition of Selected Verse contains only a fraction of this important series. This is the first complete single-volume edition of this great work.

The first single-volume edition of the great collection of Suites by the major Spanish poet, Gabriel Garcia Lorca.

This bilingual edition provides authoritative versions by distinguished poets and translators, and is the most complete paperback anthology, drawing on every book of poems published by Lorca, and on his uncollected works.
