Cicada!Now you slip away in sleep. Your boat is sea mist, dreaming, by the shore. Spains most beloved poet, Federico Garca Lorca brilliantly captures the beauty and brutality of the twentieth century. His creative imagination transcends his own experiences be it from the perspective of an ant, a gypsy nun, or Socrates to meditate on death, love and honour, and to interrogate the decay and pretence of his society. Lorcas poetry excites, moves and disarms.
