He offers more than eighty meditations on poems and prose that have haunted him since childhood and which he has possessed by memory: from the psalms and ecclesiastes to Shakespeare and Dr. Johnson; Spenser and Milton to Wordsworth and Keats; Whitman and Browning to Joyce and Proust; Tolstoy and Yeats to delmore Schwartz and Amy clampitt; Blake to Wallace stevens-andd so much more. And though he has written before about some of these authors, these exegeses, written in the winter of his life, are movingly informed by \"the freshness of last things.\" he writes: \"one of My concerns throughout possessed by memory is with the beloved dead. Most of My good friends in my generation have departed. Their voices are still in my ears. I find that they are woven into what I read. I listen not only for their voices but also for the voice I heard before the world was made. My other concern is religious, in the widest sense. For me poetry and spirituality fuse as a single entity. All My long life I have sought to isolate poetic knowledge. This also involves a knowledge of God and gods. I see imaginative literature as a kind of theurgy in which the divine is summoned, maintained, and augmented.\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525562474\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.0 x 5.2 x 1.0 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50234442055984,"sku":"Trans_9780525562474","price":788.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71MlJK8vSnL.jpg?v=1761033518","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/possessed-by-memory-the-inward-light-of-criticism","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
