This paper supports the possibility of including lyric poetry within the manifestations of the fantastic, which is usually limited or confined to the narrative genre. For this purpose, a review of the assumptions supported in the main existing theoretical studies on this subject is carried out first. Also, the definition of fantasy as a literary genre provided by such studies as well as their arguments for its exclusion - the eminently subjective or emotional character of lyric poetry, its lack of external references and its unfitness for fiction or for a fictional approach, as well as its indirect and figurative language - are questioned. Following this review, some features - both thematic and formal - that can be used to characterise the lyric-fantastic discourse are proposed and specific cases of recent Spanish poetry that could fall within this definition are analysed.
