In poetry, there lies a canvas, a blank space to create a universe, where you cannot prepare yourself for any sets of unusual reality. A little imagination to mesmerize, inspiration is a significant different voice from art, philosophy, and religion. Poetry attempts to use consistent abstract thoughts to inspire words, which they fail to articulate. Keith Phillip sees poetry as a window to his own unpredictable self, willing to take risks, risking...

And how might nurses, looking back, relate these experiences in ways that bring these memories to life again and provide historical context for how nursing education has changed and yet remained the same? In brave, revealing, and often humorous poetry and prose,...

This book investigates synaesthesia in philosophy and literature, from Aristotle to Charles Baudelaire to Jean-Luc Nancy and beyond. Its central claim is that while synaesthesia is generally read as a figure of transcendence and unity, there is another effect of synaesthesia, one that articulates differences and displaces essence. This other synaesthesia opens up within or alongside the more familiar sense of synaesthesia as synthesis, pointing to...

The first great English poet was the father of English tragedy and the creator of English blank verse. Chaucer and Spenser were great writers and great men: they shared between them every gift which goes to the making of a poet except the one which alone can make a poet, in the proper sense of the word, great. Neither pathos nor humor nor fancy nor invention will suffice for that: no poet is great as a poet whom no one could ever pretend to recognize...

Nerissa's Ring is the last two words of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.

Shakespeare asserts that one can get from Venice to Belmont either by land or by sea. It turns out Belmonte is an inland town in northeastern Portugal which fits that geography.
Furthermore, today's...

En las últimas décadas hemos asistido a una proliferación tan considerable de novelas sobre la Guerra Civil española quem sin duda, podemos claificar este fenómeno como una suerte de moda literaria. David Becerra se pregunta: ¿a qué se debe esta eclosión de títulos que parecen cuestionar el pacto de silencio y olvido de la Transición?
