Silent poems was a visual poetic genre practiced in Italy, Spain and their colonies during the 17th and 18th centuries. Being occasional texts, presented at contests and poetry fairs, they were not printed, but handwritten. In the case of New Spain, one of the few representatives of the genre that have been reached so far is Manuel Quiroz Campo Sagrado (ca. 1751-1821). This communication makes a reading of three silent poems contained in the manuscript Afectos tiernos al santísimo sacramento de el Altar. The document is in the Biblioteca Franciscana (Cholula) has recently been included in the author’s bibliography and has not yet been studied by any specialist. The poems are described and analyzed under the precepts of art and ingenuity, present in conceptual baroque poetry, although the case of Campo Sagrado is special, since it is a late representative.
