Summary (excerpt):
In this remarkably ambitious paper on coherence, Darshan, consciousness, and poetry, using examples of kinetic field resonance in ‘The Red Wheelbarrow’ by William Carlos Willliams, ‘Nigh Clime’ by Angie Estes, and ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree’ by William Butler Yeats, the reader of a poem, according to Dr Worth, “is lifted out of her finite, solitary condition and woven into the poem and that poem’s larger world. Poetry is a unique ‘building’ where language speaks by giving fullest expression to the ‘mimetic sensuousness’ and innermost materiality of objects together with the beyond. In the temple of the poem, in that uniquely rarified meeting place, the reader establishes a vital connection with the poetic material and the world beyond the immediate consciousness of the poem. She coheres with wholeness”.
