Durante nueve meses, Federico García Lorca vivió en Nueva York, alejado por primera vez de su país, de sus padres y amigos más íntimos. A lo largo de ese período, su poesía cambió radicalmente, oscureciéndose y dejando a un lado el folclorismo andaluz que tanto despreciaron Buñuel y Dalí. El resultado de esa etapa quedó recogido en Poeta en Nueva York, libro publicado cuatro años después de su muerte.

Mutiny: a rebellion, a subversion, an onslaught. In poems that rebuke classical mythos and Western canonical figures, and embrace Afro-Diasporanfolk and spiritual imagery, Phillip B. Williams conjures the hell of being erased, exploited, and ill-imagined and then, through a force and generosity of vision, propels himself into life, selfhood, and a path forward. Intimate, bold, and sonically mesmerizing, Mutiny addresses loneliness, desire, doubt, memory, and the borderline between beauty and tragedy.

What was happening to our country? There were a lot of people just like me. We were faces in our windows, looking out, wondering what in the world was going on. We have some evil giants trying to stomp us down, and they are trying to turn our country into something we cannot accept. These giants were systematically forcing terrible things on the population to be accepted as normal and good. God is love but He is not just soft mushy quiet love. God has a temper, and He has displayed it in His word. The scolding poems (the face in the window poems) came to me in basically a complete form.

Eine alte Geschichte: Sehnsucht, Glück, Verzweiflung, die Begeisterung für die Schönheit des Menschen, den man liebt: Kein anderes Thema ist so zeitlos, kein anderes packt jeden, früher, später... Wer liebt denkt anders. Wer liebt, geht auf Entdeckungsreise... was für ein Abenteuer, einen 2600 Jahre alten Text wiederzufinden... voll von Assoziationen, Düften, erotischen Anspielungen... das Hohelied Salomo, für hundert Generationen Freiraum und Spielmaterial... wie oft sind Zitate aus diesem Lied schon hin und her gegangen, wie Löschpapier vollgesogen mit realer Erfahrung.

God is speaking to us all! Are we listening? He chooses to speak to us in various forms. In this book it is in poetic form. His message is in the poems… Poetry is the heart singing, it comes from deep within. When you hear these words of love, they really come from Him.

The big questions in life: Who am I? What is my purpose? Where do I find the answers? When will I die? Why am I here? How do I know what's true? The who, what, where, when, why, and how of your life, of my life, of anyone’s life. Whenever I pick up medications at the pharmacy, I’m asked, “Do you have any questions?” If it's someone new, I give the response, “Only existential ones, and we have to answer those for ourselves.” A philosopher, a physician, a recovering addict, a poet, a dreamer, a believer.

El amor algunas veces es tan complicado como impredecible. Pero al final lo que más valoramos son los detalles más simples, los más bonitos, los que llegan sin avisar. Y a la hora de escribir sobre sentimientos, no hay nada más limpio que hacerlo desde el corazón. Y eso hace Defreds en "Casi sin querer".
