A revised Edition of this major writer\'s complete poetical work And I who was walking with the earth at my waist, saw two snowy eagles and a naked girl.

The seminal volume Poet in New York is also included here in its entirety.
Christopher Maurer, a leading Garc a Lorca scholar and editor, has brought together new and substantially revised translations by twelve poets and translators, placed side by side with the Spanish originals.
Though he died at age thirty-eight, he left behind a generous body of poetry, drama, musical arrangements, and drawings, which continue to surprise and inspire.

His work has long been admired for its passionate urgency and haunting evocation of sorrow and loss. -from Qasida of the Dark Doves Federico Garc a Lorca was the most beloved poet of twentieth-century Spain and one of the world\'s most influential modernist writers.
The one was the other and the girl was neither.
