Author Reading- “Lorca in Vermont” at the Community Hall
Wednesday August 26 5pm
The works of Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) are celebrated worldwide for their lyricism, intensity, and social commentary. Poet in New York, one of Lorca’s best-known collections, is widely assumed to reflect only his experiences in New York City in 1929 and 1930. In actuality, almost a quarter of the poems in the collection are linked to Eden Mills, Vermont, where Lorca stayed with his friend and lover Philip Cummings in August 1929.
In her talk, Patricia Billingsley will explain the history of Lorca’s relationship with Cummings and discuss how their ten days together in Vermont influenced Lorca’s life and poetry, with particular emphasis on his “Double Poem of Lake Eden.”
The North Hero Community Hall is located at 3541 US Route 2 in North Hero.
