Selected Verse


Book Description

Selected verse from the poet who "expanded the scope of lyric poetry" (Rafael Campo, The Washington Post). The work of Federico García Lorca, Spain's greatest modernist poet, has long been admired for its emotional intensity and metaphorical brilliance. The revised Selected Verse, which incorporates changes made to García Lorca's Collected Poems, is an essential addition to any poetry lover's bookshelf. In this bilingual edition, García Lorca's poetic range comes clearly into view, from the playful Suites and stylized evocations of Andalusia to the utter gravity and mystery of the final elegies, confirming his stature as one of the twentieth century's finest poets.

Salt of the Dancer: Selected Verse


Book Description

Rich as Georgia clay, Salt of the Dancer: Selected Verse is a fusion of mythological motifs, classic literary themes and modern pop sensibilities. It is concerned primarily with the working class hero whose bless-ed journey, with its many trials and tribulations, is the stuff of mortal heartbreak and the envy of the Gods. Upon reading, its credo is clear: Life's sacred. Life's profane. Life's the thing! Each poem is a song of heartbreak with one objective: to drive the reader head-over-heels into a SWOON accompanied by the customary physical effects-rosy cheeks, wet palms, and weak knees. "En this Life En this gorgeous irony Amid the heavyscented arpeggios Of blackbyrds & Angels wrestling En a drunken slumber Eye am not to be the river of all things Eye am not to be his little girl" -From the poem Sappho Beautiful, Sexy, and sometimes Cruel, Salt of the Dancer: Selected Verse paints an intimate portrait of the Soul's epic struggle with the powers and principalities of Love and Death. And, in doing so, unites the beauty and terror of existence, and trumpets the need for a brave new humanism, and a renewed love affair with the deeds and misdeeds of Man.
