Paths Away From a Clearing (A Field in England)
Poetry is a space – a vertically dynamized space which expands and invigorates everyone and everything in the direction of height. No one can enter it without becoming part of an upward movement, an ascension. No one can live in it without hearing the whispered invitation: “The day is come, and thou wilt fly with me”
Gaston Bachelard
(Air and Dreams: An Essay On the Imagination of Movement, 1988: 45)
Poetic-inductive Interventions is a work-in-progress which I started writing in February 2024.
An earlier sketch of ideas that have led to the development of the book can be found here.
