IGLESIAS ARELLANO, Mariana. Rhythm in Federico García Lorca’s poeta en Nueva York. Nueva rev. filol. hisp. [online]. 2023, vol.71, n.1, pp.279-315.  Epub 20-Feb-2023. ISSN 2448-6558.  https://doi.org/10.24201/nrfh.v71i1.3844.

This article explores how Federico García Lorca’s interest in popular and traditional poetry facilitated the poet’s incursion into the “avant-garde” style with which Poeta en Nueva York is usually identified. An analysis of “El rey de Harlem”, “Pequeño vals vienés”, and “Son de negros en Cuba” attempts to show that, far from practicing “free” verse, García Lorca’s poems are guided by rhythmic considerations established by resources such as accent, phonetic range, syllabic patterns, verbal tenses, syntactic structures and rhetorical figures of repetition.

Palabras llave : Poeta en Nueva York; Federico García Lorca; rhythm; “lógica lírica”; avant-garde and tradition.
