W.H Auden Spain

i his poem spain, Auden recalls his experience after visiting spain. the poem engages the audience into the war. what is interesting is that i did a lot of research on the spanish civil war and Lorca. what i came across was that like many other writers of the time, he was sympathetic to the republic. also it was interesting that Lorca was assassinated by franco's firing squad because of his homosexuality, as Auden was himself. it is clear from his other poems as well that he is driving by war.His poem is politically motivated, it also calls upon action. in his poems he stand against Fascist and Repression.
