Abstract

Juan Eduardo Cirlot (1916-1973), a peculiar and iconoclastic poet, creates with Bronwyn, a collection of poems, one of the most suggestive and attractive imaginary universes in 20th century Spanish literature. Interested in musical serialism, cabbala, simbolism and almost all ancient and modern literary traditions, Cirlot chooses topics from all these sources to combine them with his own spiritual search. Our critical method is based in symbolic analysis the study of the nature and meaning of elements (Bachelard, Poulet, Cassirer, etc.), in order to understand those aspects of Cirlot’s poetry related with his creation.
