Abstract
In this paper we intend to study the creative trajectory of Andres Sanchez Robayna, focusing on the mystical images that characterize his poetry books and on the concepts of ‘poetic word’ and ‘gnosis’, of vital importance in the author’s writings. It is our objective to analyze the phenomenon of intertextuality (Kristeva, 1981: 66-67) between the poetry of the Canarian vate and the work of San Juan de la Cruz and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. Our thesis is that Sanchez Robayna recovers in his compositions numerous elements which are also present in the texts of these two very different authors: contrast between light and darkness, the lyrical self moves itself among multiple images of elevation and at the same time of failure, and it wants to reach the full knowledge of reality, the extraterrestrial universal truths.
