All the books in the Spanish poet Lorca's (1898-1936) early cycle revolve around the theme of desire, says Quance (Spanish, Queen's U., Belfast), yet do so very differently. After a note on his early project for a poetic cycle, she looks at a reading of the Suites as a soul in rough draft; at Canciones as lyric in palimpsest; and at the poetry, music, and dance in the Poema del cante jondo. The quotations are in Spanish followed by English translation. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
