As poet and experimental translator, pioneer in performance poetry
and ethnopoetics, Jerome Rothenberg for over three decades has been
a literary radical and prominent influence in the American
avant-garde. Among his own earliest sources was the Spanish poet
Federico Garcia Lorca, whose "composition through images ... opened
my mind to the contemporary poetry of Europe & of something
possibly older & deeper that would surface for us in America as
well." Having recently returned to translating Lorca, Rothenberg
began to appropriate and rearrange items of Lorca's vocabulary and
to compose a series of poems of his own that "both are & aren't
mine, both are & aren't Lorca." As an original work, The Lorca
Variations are, as he describes them, "a way of coming full circle
into a discovery that began with Lorca & for which he has stood
with certain others as a guide & constant fellow-traveler."
