Poetic Obituaries: [Johanna] Justin-Jinich's love of Spanish poetry

could also be seen throughout the service. As a student, she read the works of such writers as Federico García Lorca and Pablo Neruda with zeal, and had been planning to write her senior thesis on the Spanish poets of Lorca's generation. In addition to the re-printing of "Poem 20" from Neruda's "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair" within the program, several of the evening's speakers remarked upon or read poetic works in Justin-Jinich's honor: from lines written by Neruda and Lorca to an untitled and anonymously-written work spoken by Seth Halpern '09 to a bilingual poem--entitled simply "Para You"--written and recited by Findlay Walsh '11.
