Response by poster: Wow, thank you so much!

(If you like, I think the URL you sent me would be 100% okay as a public response. It's precisely what I was hoping to find and wasn't finding by googling...)

Best answer: Okay, here's the link to the blog of Mr. Shelbaroo: www.zacharychartkoff.com. As I mentioned in my direct communiqué with kalapierson, he has translated a whole bunch of Lorca and offers (in my opinion) some interesting commentary on them to boot -- just find the Lorca category on the right sidebar. The Lorca poems are probably among the better-vetted translations that he has posted there, but he would have me emphasize that he does not make any claims to being anything more than an amateur translator. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to receive any feedback you might have to offer.
