Synopsis
From the Preface: In book after book, Vincent Ferrini proposed a communal poetry Of instinctually given knowledge that grows out of bodily experience and that carries the metaphysical weight of divinity. To free himself from the demiurge of language, lie sought in the utopian ideal of the Great Mother a living art of inexpressible affect states and expressive subjectivity. Tinctured with the rubedo of the Romantic Revolutionary, lie attempted to flesh--out grounds for co-existence between ideality and sexuality, and more essentially, to experience forever the "red union" of life and poem in "a Universewomb." When Ferrini declares-"My first experience of Pleroma, the knowing, came when I inhabited my mother's womb for nine months; and I was sensing everything that was going on in her mind and her feelings", he establishes his matrix of creativity through an intrauterine trope that buttresses the archetype of the oceanic son. This is nothing new, of course. Ferrini has always been an archetypal poet of feeling, introversion and Intuition. So many of his books from Tidal Wave (1945) and Sea Sprung (1949) to The Infinite People (1950) and Know Fish (1979)-speak persistently to a primal base of creative operations anchored in the unitary reality of mother and in infant.
