Poems from Arab Andalusia (City Lights Books)

Andalusia! The very word conjures up some of the quintessential images of Spain. This was the setting for Bizet's opera Carmen, a story of love and death among bullfights, gypsies, flamenco dancers and the torrid heat of southern Spain.

More than any other region of Spain, Andalusia (or Andalucia, if you prefer the Spanish) bears the marks of eight centuries of Moorish rule. Not only the extraordinary architecture of the Alhambra, but the food and the unmistakeable cry of Flamenco singers bear the hallmarks of arabic culture.
