Lorca is one of my favorite poets. My father gave his books to me as a child and told me they were important. I couldn't really understand them but I knew they were beautiful. I've read them throughout the years, always still discovering...beauty.

Lorca, there’s a reason his work is so legendary. such a gorgeous poem. I agree with you Gary Dault, “haunts everything good.” As well, the comments from the translator, Leonard Cohen, such an insight into his own brilliant work. Thank you ONLY POEMS, what a moving/ teaching/ /inspirational post.
