Jorge Cadavid, mysticism, poetry, silence, contemplationAbstract
Taking the traits that enable the delimitation of the idea of the mystical as a point of departure, this article inquiries into the close relation between poetic language and transcendent experience in poet Jorge Cadavid’s work. Following a review of several authors’ theoretical contributions to the definition of mysticism, Cadavid’s poems analysis is undertaken in light of the concepts of silence –both in the possibilities of theming and in the rhetorical and enunciation mechanisms through which silence enters the poem– and contemplation, understood as the attentive look.
