Hi James, The quote ...Thanks for your comment Stu.<br /><br />Hi James, The quote came from Simon Critchley’ s Things Merely Are, which is subtitled (Philosophy in the Poetry of Wallace Stevens)& I think you would be interested in it, here's the blurb on it <i>This book is an invitation to read poetry. Simon Critchley argues that poetry enlarges life with a range of observation, power of expression and attention to language that eclipses any other medium. In a rich engagement with the poetry of Wallace Stevens, Critchley reveals that poetry also contains deep and important philosophical insight. Above all, he agues for a 'poetic epistemology' that enables us to think afresh the philosophical problem of the relation between mind and world, and ultimately to cast the problem away.<br /><br />Drawing astutely on Kant, the German and English Romantics and Heidegger, Critchley argues that through its descriptions of particular things and their stubborn plainness - whether water, guitars, trees, or cats - poetry evokes the 'mereness' of things. It is this experience, he shows, that provokes the mood of calm and releases the imaginative insight we need to press back against the pressure of reality. Critchley also argues that this calm defines the cinematic eye of Terrence Malick, whose work is discussed at the end of the book.</i>@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-27104131336467899382012-09-13T18:09:57.262+01:002012-09-13T18:09:57.262+01:00Looks like a great collection.

Of course it immediately reminded me of one of my favorite poets, Wallace Stevens, whose "The Idea of Order at Key West" is a modernist milestone.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561320676355168336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-13683524312706913132012-09-10T18:08:35.440+01:002012-09-10T18:08:35.440+01:00another interesting poem collection ,I saw a progr...another interesting poem collection ,I saw a programme about a town in china that just fakes pictures ,wonder if they would do it with lit at some point ?,all the best stustujallenhttp://winstonsdad.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
