      abstract = {"The fluid and mesmeric lines of these new translations by  the award-winning poet Sarah Arvio bring us closer than  ever to the talismanic perfection of the great García  Lorca. Poet in Spain invokes the "wild, innate, local  surrealism" of the Spanish voice, in moonlit poems of love  and death set among poplars, rivers, low hills, and high  sierras. Arvio's ample and rhythmically rich offering  includes, among other essential works, the folkloric yet  modernist Gypsy Ballads, the plaintive flamenco Poem of the  Cante Jondo, and the turbulent and beautiful Dark Love  Sonnets--addressed to Lorca's homosexual lover--which Lorca  was revising at the time of his brutal political murder by  Fascist forces in the early days of the Spanish Civil War.  Here, too, are several lyrics translated into English for  the first time and the play Blood Wedding--also a great  tragic poem. Arvio has created a fresh voice for Lorca in  English, full of urgency, pathos, and lyricism--showing the  poet's work has grown only more beautiful with the passage  of time"--Publisher's description.},
