Sonnets of Dark Love by Federico Garcia Lorca Costa Prize where houses can become birdsIn Sonnets of Dark Love, written toward the end of Lorcas brief life, desire and death come together in poetic chiaroscuro. In these dark and final meditations and flashes of passion, the poet pays homage to Spanish mystics, to Italian masters of the sonnet, and to the Arab poets of his native Andalusia.
