lorca

lorca [doug duffey]


once he was well-known in spain

he studied music and guitar players

read law collaborating in mystery

entered the expert right-wing trials

circumstances of group writers

earned a degree to experience

campus of harmony of a grave

the university of manuel


he became barraca bullfighter

facing death learned in the traditions

was dragged into four sections

divided in the tragic sense

havana pride, passion as an enemy

amor y muerte violenta

themes in his own lives

condenĂ³ poemas


the best-known of poets

lived in inspiration work

advocated avant-gardism

deep culture shock

the turning point

the traditions of primitive life

suicidal moods in corrupted cities


physically seen by the nationalists

the visit continued with theatre:

dragged from a friend's house

forced to dig his own grave

the author hid from the shots

buried and posthumously published

the frightened right-wing forces

shrouded the death in their production
