Suites

Federico García Lorca

Green Integer, 2001 - Literary Criticism - 236 pages

Suites is one of the most charming and melodious of all of Lorca's poem series. Written early in his career, most of these poems remained unpublished during his lifetime and were later reassembled from notebooks. The first appearance of this work in English was in a small chapbook, entitled Suites, and in the Collected Poems of 1988; but the current edition of Selected Verse contains only a fraction of this important series. This is the first complete single-volume edition of this great work.
