This book constitutes the last great contribution of the various research groups on Mexican mystical poetry of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Specifically, it collects the interventions of the Cycle of Lectures "Mysticism and Poetry" held in 2014 by the Research Project "Mystical Mexican Poetry of the 20th century (typology and traditions)" (2012-2014) and is published with the support of the follower Teaching Project "Mysticism and poetic language: approaches from the Mexican poetry of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries" (2017-2019). The set of scientific meetings and publications coordinated by Professor Margarita León Vega, as well as the prestige and career of the participating specialist researchers —Mauricio Beuchot, Elsa Cross, Luce López-Baralt, Angelina Muñiz-Huberman, Esther Cohen, Mª Jesús Mancho Duque, among others—, places this global project at the forefront of mystical studies.
This team has already managed to lay solid foundations: the visibility of a crucial phenomenon for our time, the presence of numerous current Mexican poets who participate in the new mysticism and an analysis methodology that starts from the formalist theory of poetry (stylistics, rhetoric ) to check the emergencies and syntax of the imaginary of mysticism.
