Nacido en Granada en 1898, Federico Garc�a Lorca es uno de los grandes poetas de la historia de la literatura universal y sin duda el poeta m�s le�do y admirado del siglo XX.Poeta en Nueva York, supone un cambio radical en sus formas po�ticas, y da respuesta al encuentro de Garc�a Lorca con una ciudad, un mundo, y una forma de existencia que desconoc�a.Escrito durante su primera estancia americana, y bajo unas formas po�ticas renovadoras, pocos libros expresan la soledad y el contraste del mundo urbano de forma tan intensa, humana y conmovedora. Considerado por muchos uno de los mejores libros de la poes�a del siglo pasado, Poeta en Nueva York es un torbellino de imaginaci�n y sobre todo intensidad y magia en la poes�a, cuya lectura nos apetece hacer de forma repetida, cada poco tiempo.

About the Author:

Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936)was born in Fuente Vaqueros, a few miles outside Granada in the province of Andalusia, southern Spain. From an early age he was fascinated by Spains mixed heritage, adapting its ancient folk songs, ballads, lullabies, and flamenco music into poems and plays. By the age of thirty, he had published five books of poems, culminating in 1928 with Gypsy Ballads, which brought him far-reaching fame. In 1929/30 he studied in New York City, where he wrote the poems -- among his most socially engaging and compelling -- that were to be published posthumously (and famously) as Poet in New York. Upon returning to Spain, he devoted much of his attention to theater. In 1936, at the outset of the Spanish Civil War, he was shot to death by anti-Republican rebels in Franco's army, and his books were banned and destroyed.
