Description

Now you slip away in sleep. Your boat is sea-mist, dreaming, by the shore. Spain’s most beloved poet, Federico García Lorca brilliantly captures the beauty and brutality of the twentieth century.

His creative imagination transcends his own experiences – be it from the perspective of an ant, a gypsy nun, or Socrates – to meditate on death, love and honour, and to interrogate the decay and pretence of his society. Lorca’s poetry excites, moves and disarms.
