Based on over a decade of research, \u003ci\u003eLorca in Vermont\u003c\/i\u003e explores the full course of Lorca's relationship with Cummings, an affair that spanned three years and two continents. Combining unique access to primary sources, extensive original research, and a fresh analysis of published sources, the book describes not only the pair's history as a couple but also the suppression of their relationship by Lorca scholars after the poet's tragic death in 1936. Perhaps most importantly, it reveals previously unrecognized links between the disappointment and loss Lorca experienced in his relationship with Cummings and at least eight of the poems in his landmark collection \u003ci\u003ePoet in New York\u003c\/i\u003e, a work that has long intrigued and inspired other writers. The book brilliantly blends compelling new findings and an engaging narrative style in a page-turning tale that is a must read for anyone interested in Lorca and his legacy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatricia A.
