Sonetos de la Muerte (Sonnets of Death) is a work by the Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral, first published in 1914. She used a nom de plume as she feared that she may have lost her job as a teacher. [1] The work was awarded first prize in the Juegos Florales, a national literary contest.

Her collection of poems titled Desolación , inspired by the loss of her first love and later the death of a beloved nephew, impacted many others.
