This article deals with Carlos Obregón’s (1929-1963) poetic work, Distancia destruida (1957) and Estuario (1961), to confront the scant criticism surrounding his work that has been labeled with the term of “mystic poet” and to take precisely this analytical category as a starting point for this research. This, in order to demonstrate that obregonian poetics is not an expression of a mystical experience, but an affinity between a mystic for joining God and a poet who aspires to the unifying word between song and silence.
