I regret that I cannot see anything in Trakl, and havent for twenty years.
I always put it down to the translators but it has happened so much I am
not so sure.
And regarding Lorca I had a disturbing experience the other week reading
the Penguin Selected POems in conjunction with the new book of leftovers
from Granada to find that some of that early magic had vanished. THere
are still a few great poems but my overall enthusiasm was lacking.
Very disturbing to find an opinion shift after so many years of fandom.
