The attachment to Dali proved to be a crucial personal problem for Lorca, and it was not settled until Lorca left Spain in Lorca's first publication was Impresiones y paisajes, a description of an Andalusian trip in During the early s Lorca wrote the poems for his first important book, Canciones, which was published in Canciones reveals the two strong influences on Lorca's poetic formation: the traditional and the vanguard.
Of the traditional he utilized the ballad and other popular forms and the Andalusian themes; of the vanguard called ultraism in Spain he developed the tendency toward novel and surprising metaphor and a syntax without normal connecting and relating words. In , during his years of intense personal crisis and feverish literary activity, Lorca published his Romancero gitano Gypsy Ballads , the book which gave him his international reputation. The Gypsy Ballads is concerned with the omnipresence of the sexual instincts, forever threatened by repression but breaking out and often leading to death.
Lorca chose the gypsy as a character because the gypsy represents the natural man, whose instincts and vital passions are not repressed by moral and cultural training. Lorca's gypsies are therefore usually in conflict with their society, which seems to be persecuting them. In Spain the Gypsy Ballads was viewed as a daring book, for most of the 18 ballads explore the total range of sexuality, normal and abnormal.
The most popular ballad graphically describes a normal sexual experience, but others concern incest, homosexuality, and the sexual awakening in a nun. In form the Gypsy Ballads comprises traditional ballads, characterized by the swinging rhythms associated with this form. Lorca develops many of them in a dramatic context, with an interplay of character and situation, at times even including himself.

This book in fact made Lorca something of a celebrity as well as a recognized poet.
