Fina García Marruz, a prominent poet of the Origins group and a key figure in 20th-century Cuban poetry, constructed a body of work deeply connected to the island's cultural identity. In her poetry, Cubanness is not presented as an aesthetic and spiritual experience manifested through images of space. In this context, this research article proposes an analysis of the poetics of Cubanness in her work, addressing the paucity of academic approaches to the topic at hand. The research offers a reading of this dimension in the Origenist poet's work, beginning with the search for and interpretation of those images of poetic space, considering these as elements that connote Cubanness and that are iteratively manifested in poetic discourse. To fulfill the stated objectives, a qualitative study was designed, with the investigative process organized into four fundamental phases: the identification and critical examination of theoretical and methodological references; The conceptual systematization of the main analytical category, the poetics of Cubanness and the dimension of poetic space; the application of the analytical categories to the selected corpus; and the interpretative proposal resulting from the inferences of meanings. As a result, an interpretation of the meanings associated with the poetic images of interior and exterior space in the poetic work of Fina García Marruz is offered, which aim to reinforce the notion of Cubanness inherent in her poetics.
