Abstract

The aim of this article is to analize the Discurso en loor de la poesía , an anonymous text written in Perú at the beginning of the 17th century. We study some relevant aspects of this composition: its inclusion in the poetry's defense tradition, its relation to Diego Mexía's translation of Ovid, the imitatio  principles and the metapoetic reflection. We also highlight the construction of an American locus of enunciation and of a feminine voice, which allows us to establish a parallelism with the mythological Sibyls.
