New Poll! Which Giller Longlisted Author Do You Want to Win?

Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca was only 36 when he was executed by Nationalist forces at the beginning of the Spanish civil war. His international legacy, built on the strength of his plays and poetry collections continues to this day. When Brian Dedora travelled to Spain, he fell under the spell of that legacy, and the result is Lorcation (BookThug). Intrigued by similarities between the Spanish writer's life and his own, Brian blends prose poetry and essay in Lorcation to speak about his own personal journey while also examining Lorca's life and writing.
