I don't know if you guys know his work, but he's really good.

His bio.

Quote:

The Guitar by Federico García Lorca
Translated by Cola Franzen
The weeping of the guitar

begins.

The goblets of dawn

are smashed.

The weeping of the guitar

begins.

Useless

to silence it.

Impossible

to silence it.

It weeps monotonously

as water weeps

as the wind weeps

over snowfields.

Impossible

to silence it.

It weeps for distant

things.

Hot southern sands

yearning for white camellias.

Weeps arrow without target

evening without morning

and the first dead bird

on the branch.

Oh, guitar!

Heart mortally wounded

by five swords.

OMG. Probably my favorite poet ever. Do you speak Spanish? I like his works more in Spanish than English.

Canción del Jinete

Prendimiento de Antoñito el Camborio

Muerte de Antoñito el Camborio

Romance de la Luna, Luna

No I don't speak spanish, but I went out and bought a huge book of his poetry and translations awhile back. It is so wonderful. My favorite poem of his has to be one called "my heart" I believe, althought I can't find it online right now.

I love those poems you posted too. He is definitely in my top 5 of poets. Beautiful poetry.
