The year is 1929, and Federico García Lorca embarks on a journey to New York in search of distance: from a broken love affair, the overwhelming success of Romancero gitano , and the environment that no longer offers him solace. In the city of skyscrapers, he finds modernity, avant-garde, and a newfound freedom to observe, experiment, and write.

From those nine months in North America , Poet in New York was born, one of the most personal, groundbreaking, and visionary collections of poetry in 20th-century Spanish poetry. Published posthumously, the book captures the poet's astonishment, critique, and alienation in the face of an industrialized society marked by racism, ferocious capitalism, and urban dehumanization.

This edition, published by Editorial Alma, is part of its Illustrated Classics collection. With a contemporary visual design and hardcover binding, it brings this essential text to new readers without losing its symbolic intensity or the author's committed, poetic voice.
