Nazi Literature In The Americas (New Directions Paperbook) - Plot & Excerpts
At the age of twenty she published her first collection of verse, The Voice You Withered, which bears witness to a stubborn and sometimes fanatical reading of Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz. Her grandparents and parents were supporters of Porfírio Díaz. Her elder brother was a priest who embraced the cause of the Cristeros and was executed by firing squad in 1928. In her 1933 collection, The Destiny of Women, she confessed that she was in love with God, Life and a New Mexican Dawn, to which she also referred indiscriminately as resurrection, awakening, dreaming, falling in love, forgiveness and marriage. Being open-minded, she frequented the salons of Mexican high society as well as the haunts of the avant-garde, where her charm and frankness immediately won over the revolutionary painters and writers, who welcomed her warmly although they were well aware of her conservative ideas. In 1934 she published The Paradox of the Cloud, fifteen sonnets in the style of Góngora, and A Tableau of Volcanoes, a series of highly personal poems, specimens of Catholic feminism avant la lettre.
