García Lorca es testigo de la Nueva York que sufre por la pobreza tras el crack de 1929. Escribe...

Una flor de Alejandro Palomas se presenta como un experimento poético con reminiscencias simbolistas en el que los versos se suceden como reflexiones, certezas e inquietudes. El símbolo, la flor, o, más claramente, una flor, se erige como paralelismo de temas universales, matizados con intensos pensamientos sobre el oficio del poeta y sobre el poema mismo. "El poeta no se desliza sobre el tiempo. / El poeta lo escala".
