García Lorca was gay and suffered from depression after the end of his relationship with sculptor Emilio Aladrén Perojo. After a sojourn in New York City from 1929 to 1930-documented posthumously in Poeta en Nueva York ( Poet in New York, 1942)-he returned to Spain and wrote his best-known plays, Blood Wedding (1932), Yerma (1934), and The House of Bernarda Alba (1936). His poetry incorporated traditional Andalusian motifs and avant-garde styles. He initially rose to fame with Romancero gitano ( Gypsy Ballads, 1928), a book of poems depicting life in his native Andalusia. García Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27, a group consisting mostly of poets who introduced the tenets of European movements (such as symbolism, futurism, and surrealism) into Spanish literature. Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca (5 June 1898 – 19 August 1936), known as Federico García Lorca ( English: / ɡ ɑːr ˌ s iː ə ˈ l ɔːr k ə/ gar- SEE-ə LOR-kə), was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director.
