3 days ago - García Lorca was assassinated by Nationalist forces at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. His remains have never been found, and the motive remains in dispute; some theorize he was targeted for being gay, a socialist, or both, while others view a personal dispute as the more likely cause. Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca was born on 5 June 1898, in Fuente Vaqueros, a small town 17 km west of Granada, southern Spain.

I don't really "get" Lorca
I’ve been reading his collected poems off and on for the past couple months. It’s been hit or miss for me. I’ve really loved some of it but it’s super vibes-based and abstract, which for me has meant there’s never really a moment where a poem clicks or really hits you because they seem more aimed at producing a nebulous feeling in the moment. It’s not anything you can really pin down; some of them seem not really to be about anything at all. And since none of them click they’re hard to retain.
I just read Infinite Jest for the first time and have been re-reading some of Larkin, have been thinking about him in relation to them. Like DFW and Larkin obvi have totally different sensibilities about life but they have the same kind of cold, clear, English no-nonsense, anti-style with no sensuality in it (Larkin has more than Wallace tho). Lorca is the polar opposite; it’s all sensation and image. Wallace is pretty explicitly skeptical about this sort of style in Infinite Jest, and I think he’s right that it risks running into an all-style-no-substance problem, which is what I think you’re getting at. But the best Lorca poems I’ve read are like music, they’re emotionally direct, full of passion, hypnotic and in the space of 10 lines throw images at you more moving than DFW came up with in 1100 pages. But yeah they’re hard to remember.

March 4, 2022Today, 85 years ago, Federico García Lorca was killed by the Francoist side of the Spanish Civil War for being a Homosexual. He is, to this day one of the most influential poets in the Spanish history.
I´d not say he was strictly killed just for being homosexual, he was also a leftist, concerned with poor people´s rights and a shining example of the Republic´s intellectuals. More on reddit.com

"What I wish is that the thing could be done in a day. That they could produce two or three full-grown men straight away. But it is not like that. It's so slow. That's why it's so terrible to see the blood of a single one spilt on the ground. A fountain that spurts for a moment and has cost years of our life." More on reddit.com
