Anonymous Artist: Amarilis (Poet)

Amarilis is a pseudonym for a poet from the late 16th century Peru. The poet (believed to have been a woman) wrote a single known poem an epĂ­stola to Belardo. They sent the poem to Spanish playwright Lope de Vega whom they supposedly admired. He would then publish the poem in La Filomena in 1621.

Not much is known about Amarilis but it is believed that they were a female.
