Suites
Federico Garcia Lorca. Green Integer, $12.95 (236pp) ISBN 978-1-892295-61-3
Some exclamatory and heartfelt, others mordant, whimsical or surreal, the pieces in Suites by Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936) are early, short-lined poetic sequences, here translated by the prolific Jerome Rothenberg (Poems for the Millennium, etc.): ""In the little woodlets/ with their purples & magnesiums/ the princesitas jumping/ are baby sparkadillos."" Many of these component poems and versets by Spain's modern master have never before appeared in English. (Green Integer [Consortium, dist.], $12.95 paper 240p ISBN 1-892295-61-X; Oct.)
