The classic work on the sublime interplay between the arts and poetics This book explores the rich and complex relationship between art and poetry, shedding invaluable light on what makes each unique yet wholly interdependent. Jacques Maritain insists on the part played by the intellect as well as the imagination, showing how poetry has its source in the preconceptual activity of the rational mind. But intellect is not merely logical and conceptual reason. Maritain reveals how it carries on an exceedingly more profound and obscure life, one that is revealed to us as we seek to penetrate the hidden recesses of poetic and artistic activity. Beautifully illustrated, this illuminating book is the product of a lifelong reflection on the meaning of artistic expression in all its varied forms.

This is a great book. Very high scholarship and thorough research. One of the most influential books I've read. The author makes a clear distinction between the common word "poetry" and that POETRY that is at the very heart and center of all creative enterprise. ------------------------ "Poetry, with which this book is fundamentally concerned, is the free creativity of the spirit, and the intuitive knowledge through emotion, which transcend and permeate all arts, inasmuch as they tend toward beauty as an end beyond the end. Then poetry, like Plato?s mousike, is taken in a primary, most universal sense. (pg. 393)" ------------------------- This a book you'll want to own and read time and time again. A virtual well-spring of inspiration and joy.
