The year is 1929, and Federico García Lorca is preparing a trip to New York. He wants to escape a recent breakup, the betrayal of his friends, and the overwhelming success of Romancero gitano. In the city of skyscrapers, Lorca finds modernity, avant-garde, and the freedom to discover and learn about himself, to unleash his creativity. But New York wasn't just the perfect escape route for the Granada-born poet to heal his wounds. From that nine-month adventure emerged this collection of poems, one of the most innovative and impactful in 20th-century Spanish poetry.
