Poetry Project: Poet in New York March 25, 2008

Join Poetry Project as they revisit Federico Garcia Lorca's 'Poet In New York,' newly translated by Pablo Medina and Mark Statman and published by Grove Press. Written during Lorca's nine months as a student at Columbia University at the beginning of the Great Depression, this is widely considered one of the most important books he ever wrote, and one of the greatest book of poems ever written about New York City. Readers include Ron Padgett, Jaime Manrique, Bill Zavatsky, Jane LeCroy, Pablo Medina, Mark Statman, Iraida Iturralde, Aristides Falcon, and flamenco music with Roman Diaz on cajon, Carlos Revollar on guitar and other musicians.
