N2  - The landmark poetry of Federico Garca̕ Lorca in a bilingual edition and introduced by Pulitzer Prize winner W. S. Merwin.The Selected Poems of Federico Garca̕ Lorca has introduced generations of American readers to mesmerizing poetry since 1955.

But Lorca's poems are, most of all, admired for their beauty. Undercurrents of his major influences--Spanish folk traditions from his native Andalusia and Granada, gypsy ballads, and his friends the surrealists Salvador Dali and Luis Buųel--stream throughout Lorca's work. Poets represented here as translators are as diverse as Stephen Spender, Langston Hughes, Ben Belitt, William Jay Smith, and W.S. Merwin
