Poeta in Nueva York

Poeta in Nueva York ( Poet in New York ) is a collection of Poème S of Federico García Lorca, published in a posthumous way in 1940.

Lorca wrote these poems in 1929-1930 with New York, whereas it resided as a student at the Université Columbia. The collection is dedicated to his/her friends Bebe and Carlos Mora, but several sections and certain poems are dedicated to other friends.

The collection contains quotations of poems of Luis Cernuda and Vicente Aleixandre. The poems are of surrealist inspiration frankly , and especially darker than in the other collections of the poet. The topics are the Solitude and despair. The town of New York seems a nightmarish place, where people are oppressed and where reign misery. Lorca had envisaged several illustrations for its collection: drawings of its hand and Photomontage S or joinings of photographs.

After a section devoted to the university, the poems consider the condition of the Noirs American, in particular with Harlem. Night streets of the " city without sommeil" are places of insecurity and dirtiness. Even the poems written at the edge of the lake Edem Millets and with Newburg are impressed of despair. After an introduction to died and a return to the city, the collection culminates with two Ode S: a " Cry towards Rome" since the tower of the Chrysler Building, and a homage to the American poet Walt Whitman. Two waltz celebrate then the escape of New York, before the arrival with Havana and the celebration of the cuban music .

Reception

The collection, published after the death of Lorca, caused a debate on its composition. Poeta in Nueva York was published in two different editions in 1940, bilingual prepared by Rolfe Humphries at Norton, and Spanish prepared by Jose Bergamín at Séneca. Both had had recourse to handwritten versions. The differences between the versions of the poems involved several editions different from the collection.

Poeta in Nueva York revealed with force the engagement of Lorca towards poorest and the oppressed minorities, in particular the Blacks. He resorts to images provocantes, as the crowd which vomits or which urinates. Certain poems, in particular the ode with Walt Whitman, also reveal the homosexuality of the poet, a way more obvious than in its preceding collections.

The poem " Its of Negros in Cuba" was put in music and interpret by the cuban group Compay Segundo.
