Spiritual IntimationsThe poetic sequel to Stressing the Essential (1982), this 1983 volume of some thirty-four poems in free verse is even more ideologically homogeneous, as it strives to delineate and advance, within poetic form, the concept of Social Transcendentalism as bearing on a variety of contexts, not least political, religious, cultural, and social. Certainly Spiritual Intimations is poetically more assured than its precursor, as well as deeper and thematically more expansive. – A Centretruths editorial |
