A Way of Seeing by John Allison
This beautifully written book by Australian poet John Allison shows how poetry can reveal aspects of the world invisible to science.
Allison describes the path to 'true imagination', an intensification of ordinary imagination, which can lead to real knowing. He examines how poets such as Shakespeare, Blake, Coleridge, Keats, John Ruskin, Gerard Manley Hopkins and Rainer Maria Rilke have developed and practiced this kind of 'deep seeing'.
'Where do we go to find some guidance in how to improve the way we see the world? I suggest the very best person to assist is a poetJohn Allison has written a book that shines a light on what happens as one works on one's own senses, thoughts and feelings. Brilliant and important.'
