'Cántico': beyond the air
Abstract
This article proposes a Lacanian reading of Jorge Guillén’s poetry, in particular of some poems of Cántico. Its analysis defends an interpretation of Guillenian poetics as an expression of the author’s desire to pursue the exact word in each creative moment. In this way, the poems are read as a materialization of the almost impossible balance that the poetic voice achieves between the conception of the being from the imaginary realm and its literary embodiment in the symbolic realm, in its constant search of Nothingness as it manifests in the ecstasy of the real realm.
