Synopsis
These exquisite love poems, some of them clearly addressed to women, were written by the visionary and passionate genius of Mexican letters, the seventeenth-century nun Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. In this volume they are translated into the idiom of our own time by poets Joan Larkin and Jaime Manrique. 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 feelings they address.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Love opened a mortal wound. In agony, I worked the blade to make it deeper. Please, I begged, let death come quick. Wild, distracted, sick, I counted, counted all the ways love hurt me. One life, I thought-a thousand deaths. Blow after blow, my heart couldn't survive this beating. Then-how can I explain it? - I came to my senses. I said, Why do I suffer? What lover ever had so much pleasure -Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
