Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936), wrote The Tamarit Divan and the
Sonnets of Dark Love in the last years of his life. Both books were
published posthumously and explore passionate love. The setting for
The Divan is the poet's Granada, while the Sonnets are a solitary,
intimate voice speaking to one person. In translating these
powerful poems, Jane Duran and Gloria Garcia Lorca have tried to
remain as close as possible to Lorca's words and to his emotional
and sensuous intensity.This bilingual edition also includes essays
by two acclaimed Lorca scholars. Christopher Maurer's essay,
'Violet Shadow', explores Lorca's relationship with Arabic poetry
in the Divan. Andres Soria Olmedo's essay, 'Dark St Valentine',
studies the implications and resonances of 'dark love' in the
Sonnets.
