Poet in New York
Federico García Lorca · W.W. Norton, New York (first edition); Editorial Séneca, Mexico City (first Spanish-only), same year · 1940
Posthumous work with parallel 1940 firsts. Contrary to the 'priority famously disputed' framing, ABAA dealers (Burnside, Between the Covers, Raptis, Ken Lopez) agree the New York Norton edition is the true first and precedes the Mexico City Séneca edition — so the US bilingual edition precedes the original-language Spanish printing. Name both: Norton 1940 (first edition / first bilingual appearance) and Séneca 1940 (first Spanish-only edition); both are collected. No London/UK edition belongs to the early line.
