Unpublished Lorca Poem Reported by Miguel Poveda to Debut in Granada on April 27

A public debut at Granada's book fair will invite scrutiny of its origin.

Overview

  • Miguel Poveda reports finding a short Federico García Lorca poem on the back of a manuscript he purchased from a German antiquarian.
  • The poem, titled “Canta el reloj…,” will appear in the book “Las cosas del otro lado. Lo inédito en Federico García Lorca” from Elenvés Editoras.
  • Pepa Merlo, a Lorca specialist, provisionally dates the draft to 1933 and says the handwriting matches the poet.
  • The presentation is planned at the central booth of the Granada Book Fair with Poveda and Merlo attending.
