Side

So in Spanish class for the past week, we've been writing poems in Spanish. It was all to lead up to tonight, when some volunteer students decided to read a poem at Spanish poetry night. I volunteered so tonight I am going to the reading. After today, when I got my poem back after approval, I wished I could have changed it. Because I had already handed in what I was going to read, I can't change it for tonight, but I can still change it for myself. This is when I remembered that I had no side project for STAC. So as I was leaving the class I decided to embark in the realm of Spanish poetry. I'm researching poets now and have found a few, one of those who work I am reading is Federico Garcia Lorca a poet who worked around the 1920-30s period. His poems, like I had expected, are very advanced Spanish, but I have been breaking them down to understand, and eventually copy, some of his work. Here is his first piece I am reading. http://allpoetry.com/poem/8512751-La_Guitarra-by-Federico_Garcia_Lorca
