Poetic Presence and Illusion

Meer over het boek

Exploring the duality of poetry, this book delves into the concept of poetic presence as an illusion that shapes the reader's reality. Krieger argues that poetry exists within an illusionary context, acting as both a metaphor and a tangible force in understanding personal and poetic experiences. Through analysis of Renaissance and contemporary poems, he evaluates the interplay between illusion and reality, offering insights into the evolution of his critical perspective. This work serves as a bridge for readers familiar with his previous writings.
