"Lorca's "Poeta en Nueva York" has long been recognized as a modern poetic indictment of New York, a reaction against the social injustice observed in an ominous and alien city. Believing this interpretation to be accurate but incomplete, Richard L. Predmore offers a more rounded analysis of the poems, pointing out the complex interaction of personal themes of tormented homosexual love and religious disillusionment with the more obvious social theme."
