Synopsis
This book approaches the study of poetry from a unique perspective, examining its significance within the context of myth and the human experience. The author argues that poetry, rooted in the collective unconscious, transcends mere language, expressing profound truths through rhythm and metaphor. Drawing from examples across literary history, including Aeschylus, Dante, Shakespeare, and Wordsworth, the author demonstrates how poetry taps into a timeless realm of shared consciousness. Poetry's ability to synthesize the literal and the mythical, the human and the transcendental, illuminates the deeper realities of existence. From the awe-inspired interrogations of Aeschylus' characters to the mystical communion conveyed in Wordsworth's nature poetry, this book reveals the essential role poetry plays in shaping our understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe.
