2002-09-20 Surprisingly interesting !

I had to buy this book for my university course and although I had never heard of Federico before commencing the module, by the time I had read these poems I was totally engrossed with his life in general. Although the poems can be very bizarre and generally undecipherable, some of them reveal a lot about his tortured life as a gay man under the rule of Franco. Some of the poems are very beautiful and are full of morality. All I can say is that I am very glad I chose that university module because otherwise I would never have learnt about this great poet.
