Poetry of life in literature and through literature, and the vast territory in between, where they interact and influence each other, is the nerve of human existence. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are profoundly dissatisfied with the stark reality of life’s swift progress onward, and the irretrievable meaning of the past. And so we dramatize our existence, probing deeply for a valid sense of our experience. It is in great works of literature that we seek those hidden springs that so move us. This collection focuses on the creative imagination at work in literature and aesthetics.
