<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Poems in English and Spanish; introd. and critical matter in English.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"The definitive version of Lorca's masterpiece, in language that is as alive and molten today as was the original."--John Ashbery <p/>Newly translated for the first time in ten years, Federico García Lorca's <i>Poet in New York</i> is an astonishing depiction of a tumultuous metropolis that changed the course of poetic expression in both Spain and the Americas. Written during Lorca's nine months at Columbia University at the beginning of the Great Depression, <i>Poet in New York</i> is widely considered one of the most important books Lorca produced. This influential collection portrays a New York City populated with poverty, racism, social turbulence, and solitude--a New York intoxicating in its vitality and beauty. After the tragedy of September 11, 2001, poets Pablo Medina and Mark Statman were struck by how closely this seventy-year-old work spoke to the atmosphere of New York. They were compelled to create a new English version using a contemporary poet's eye, which upholds Lorca's surrealistic technique, mesmerizing complexity, and fierce emotion unlike any other translation to date. A defining work of modern literature, <i>Poet in New York</i> is a thrilling exposition of one American city that continues to change our perspective on the world around us.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Poet in New York] may well be one of the greatest books of poems ever written about New York City. . . . A fierce indictment of the modern world incarnated in city life . . . Wildly imaginative . . . An apocalyptic outcry, a dark, instructive, metaphysical bowl of loneliness."<br><br>"Pablo Medina and Mark Statman have produced the definitive version of Lorca's masterpiece, in language that is as alive and molten today as was the original in 1930."<br>
