Sol Gaitan of the Dalton School in New York developed this book for her AP Spanish students so that they can explore the direct influence of particular flamenco music styles on Lorca's poetry. Gaitan presents both the songs and the poems they inspired, and annotates the poems from pages 11 to 43; with the students expected to follow her lead by annotating the poems in the remainder of the book.
