Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936) had an enormous impact on the generation of American poets who came of age during the cold war, from Robert Duncan and Allen Ginsberg to Robert Creeley and Jerome Rothenberg. This book offers an exploration of the afterlife of this Spanish writer in the poetic culture of the United States.

Trade Review
"Apocryphal, American Lorca! Inviting us to consider how one culture reads another - how American poets read Spain through Lorca and Lorca through Spain - Jonathan Mayhew has given us an informative, thoughtful, fascinating, and often funny journey through translation, parody, and kitsch. No one could be better qualified to study Lorca's work as 'generative device' in English-language poetry and get at the mystery of how and what a poet can mean in a different cultural context." - Christopher Maurer, editor of Lorca's Collected Poems"
