The Inner Journey of the Poet, and Other PapersPoet Kathleen Raine explores the idea that "journey" has been the theme of most imaginative poetry of the ages. Quoting from ancient mythology to Wordsworth, she charts the journeys into regions of consciousness that poet's have taken. Examples such as Dante's Divine Comedy are studied in detail. The author compares poetry to Jungian pscychology which also deals with inner journeys. (SLNSW Infocus item 2212). |
