What Poets Used To Know: Poetics • Mythopoesis • Metaphysics - 9781597311717

From the days of the first shamans, through Homer, Dante, the traditional ballads, Rumi, Blake, Emily Dickinson, and Lew Welch, poetry has been rooted in metaphysics. In What Poets Used To Know, Charles Upton presents poetry both as a set of contemplative techniques and as a key to the accumulated lore hoard of the human race.
