My review on 25 Jun 2021

Many thanks to Papercutz and NetGalley for giving me the chance to read Canciones by Federico Garcia Lorca in exchange for an honest review.
Introduction by Lorca scholar, translator Christopher Maurer and pictured by Tobias Tak.

Dual-text of twenty Lorca's poetry with awesome pictures, great graphics, very special, I loved it. Beautiful, glorious poems with the sun, moon, trees, sea, wind, animals, and human characters. I enjoyed it.

...From east to west it is so hard for me
to carry you with your birds
and your arms of wind.

and your arms of wind.
