Poeta en Nueva York (Poet in New York)

Both editions are collected and a serious reference must name both. Norton, New York, is the true first by roughly three weeks — 24 May 1940 against the Séneca colophon of 15 June 1940 — a precedence confirmed both by the dated record and independently by ABAA dealer cataloguing, which describes the Norton as preceding the Mexican edition by several weeks. Séneca is the first edition in Spanish only, and the first illustrated edition. Because Bergamín set his text from the manuscript Lorca left him — a manuscript since lost — and introduced his own arrangement and modifications, the two 1940 texts differ materially and neither is a reprint of the other. Spanish-language sources that call the two 'simultaneous' are describing the near-coincidence, not disputing the dated precedence.
