Federico Garcia Lorca (1898–1936) is perhaps Spain’s most famous writer and cultural icon -- the most successful member of a brilliant generation of poets by the age of thirty, winning critical and popular acclaim by fusing traditional and avant-garde themes and techniques. An experimental playwright of often shocking plays that challenged conventional mores by dealing with male and female homosexuality. His liberal politics and lifestyle made him a target and he was murdered by right-wing insurgents at the start of the Spanish Civil War.

Deep Song and Other Prose is the only collection in English translation of selected prose works by Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936).
In his short life, Lorca produced an astonishing quantity of poems and plays but few essays. His creative powers were best stimulated by the immediate presence of an audience, and it was on the lecturer's platform where the bulk of his prose writings had their initial exposure rather than on the printed page he so mistrusted. Of the thirteen pieces included in this volume, only two (Holy Week in Granada, Sun and Shade) were written with publication in mind; two others are newspaper interviews (Conversation with Bagaria and The Life of Garcia Lorca, Poet); still two more are occasional addresses (A Talk about 7heater and Greeting to the Crew of the San Sebastian Elcano). All the rest are lectures and poetry readings given in Spain and the Americas during the last fourteen years of Lorca's life.
This volume is an excellent introduction to Lorca's concern with the primordial, irrational wellsprings of the creative spirit and to his work generally.
