Summary: These exquisite love poems, some of them clearly addressed to women, were written by the visionry and passionate genius of Mexican letters, the seventeenth-century nun Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. In this volume they are translated into the idiom of our own time by poets Joan Larkin and Jaime Manrique. The poems included in this selection have been chosen for Sor Juana´s extensive body of poetry on many kinds of love. Some of them are rooted in Renaissance courtly conventions; others are startlingly ahead of their time, seemingly modern in the naked power of the complex sexual felings they address.
