These never-before published translations unite Garcia Lorca's masterpieces with two of America's most gifted poets, Langston Hughes and W.S. Merwin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe epigrammatic style and unsentimental lyricism of W.S. Merwin heighten the urgency and fervor of \u003ci\u003eYerma\u003c\/i\u003e, the story of a woman whose thwarted yearning for a child makes her murder her indifferent husband. Preeminent African-American poet Langston Hughes infuses his version of \u003ci\u003eBlood Wedding\u003c\/i\u003e--the story of an unwilling bride who elopes with her lover on her wedding night--with the rhythmic intensity and linguistic beauty only a fellow poet could achieve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico Garc?
