Summary:
Part of the Tavistock Clinic Series. This book explores some of the
ways in which an understanding of poetry, and the poetic impulse, can
be fruitfully informed by psychoanalytic ideas. The contributors
focus on the work of particular poets, from the prophet Ezekiel to
Seamus Heaney. They demonstrate the ways in which specific
psychoanalytic concepts and theories can enable us to see meanings in
a poem which might otherwise not be apparent. Several shed light on
the creative process itself.
