Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz

Question

What do you think of the poetry of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz? Do you have a favorite poem by her? If you have not read this poet, I think you should!! She has an amazing voice in the history of Mexico and the European world.

I am doing a paper over this poet. I have done my research . i.e. her background, her library in the convent, her musical instruments, her like, her death, her poetry,etc.

Happy learning and sharing!

Answer 1

I was actually confusing this non with our Santa Teresa de Jesús, famous for :

Vivo sin vivir en mí.....

By the way, I just found out that Sor Juana has a monument in our beautiful Retiro.

Thank you for this :) I am having a hard time finishing my essay, but it looks as if I may be able to add some information about this statue! Gracias :) - sunshinzmommie, Oct 25, 2009
