Tracing Texts - Episode 3: The Femme Fatale or Fatal Woman in Spanish Language Literature

In Episode 4, Anton discusses the life and work of Spanish poet, writer, artist, and intellectual, José Moreno Villa. Moreno Villa is most closely associated with the Generation of 1927 in Spanish Literature, which generally brings to mind important figures of the that period like García Lorca, Buñuel, and Dalí. Moreno Villa's "Jacinta la pelirroja" is a collection of poems that describe his failed romance with a woman named Florence from New York. In addition to the autobiographical nature of his poetry, Moreno Villa incorporates jazz elements into his poetry both with respect to imagery and rhythm.
