GARCÍA LORCA, Federico.

Libro de poemas.

Madrid, Imprenta Maroto, 1921. 8vo, pp. 299; light spotting, but a very good copy, uncut in the original printed wrappers, some cracking and consolidation to spine; stamp of Daniel Devoto and Maria Beatriz del Valle-Inclán to first blank leaf, and of a Buenos Aires bookseller to inside front wrapper; in a cloth folding case. First edition, very rare: Lorca’s second book, and his first collection of poems. It comprises 70 early lyrics, the earliest dated 1915, but most from the period 1918-19 before Lorca had arrived in Madrid. Lorca’s brother Francisco helped him to compile an anthology of his best verse from the mass of manuscripts which had by now accumulated and it is to him that the book is dedicated. It was reviewed on the front page of the Madrid daily El Sol by Adolfo Salazar under the heading ‘A New Poet. Federico G. Lorca’.Laurenti & Siracusa 35.
