%0 Journal Article %T Mysticism without Borders: A Comparative Study of Contemporary Mystical Symbolism in Ant¨®nio Ramos Rosa¡¯s O Aprendiz Secreto and the Poetry of Clara Jan¨¦s %A Simon %A Robert %J Ellipsis %D 2007 %I American Portuguese Studies Association (APSA) %X The purpose of this essay is to draw out whatever mystical process and symbolism may be occurring in Ant¨®nio Ramos Rosa¡¯s O Aprendiz Secreto and compare them to that already found in Clara Jan¨¦s¡¯ poetry. I also discuss briefly the postmodern, anti-hegemonic tendencies found in Jan¨¦s¡¯ poetry which may even find a shred or two of commonality with the ontological struggle and polissemy for which Rosa¡¯s work is known. %K Ant¨®nio Ramos Rosa %K Clara Jan¨¦s %K Portuguese poetry %K Spanish poetry %U http://www.ellipsis-apsa.com/Volume_5-Simon_files/Simon_ellipsis_5_2007.pdf
