Puerto Rico received the exiled Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez and his wife, Zenobia Camprubí, with open arms. By reading the collected letters that the poet, a native of the Andalusian city of Moguer, held with renowned figures of the time, as well as Zenobia Camprubí‘s Diario, published by the University of Puerto Rico, Matilde Albert Robatto not only highlights the well-known relationship that the couple sustained with Puerto Rico, she also outlines the interesting profile of a woman that, before our very eyes, has ceased to be the wife of a Spanish Nobel laureate and has become an intellectual in her own right.Puerto Rico recibió con los brazos abiertos al poeta español exiliado Juan Ramón Jiménez y a su esposa Zenobia Camprubí. Mediante la lectura del epistolario del poeta de Moguer con otras figuras distinguidas de la época, y del Diario, de Zenobia, publicado por la Universidad de Puerto Rico, Matilde Albert Robatto no solo pone de manifiesto la ya conocida relación entre la pareja y Puerto Rico, sino que traza un interesante perfil de una mujer que ha ido dejando de ser ante nuestros ojos la esposa del Nobel español, para convertirse en una intelectual por derecho propio.
