Finjamos que soy feliz

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is one of the most important poets of the Spanish language. She closed the Hispanic Baroque with a flourish and is, furthermore, a very seductive figure: woman, nun, wise, defender of women's intellectual capacity. However, like any famous author, Sor Juana has been a victim of her fame: everyone knows her, but very few read her. This selection by the poet Luna Miguel also makes available to all readers the brilliance of the best poems of the one who was persecuted for dedicating herself body and soul not to religion, but to intellectuality and writing. Today's reader will discover in these verses the insight and challenge that her enduring poetry harbors.
