Description
T. S. Eliot and the Dynamic Imagination by Sarah Kennedy explores how poems are made and what inner and outer worlds inspire them. The author examines three clusters of imagery that recur in Eliot's work, including 'sea-change', 'light invisible' and 'dark ghost'. These metaphors form the imaginative logic of his poetry. Eliot's writing is characterized by moments of recognition and invocation, where a writer discovers both subject and image. Kennedy draws on contemporary languages of literary criticism, psychology, physics and anthropology to understand these processes. The book reveals how Eliot's transposition of registers interweaves modern understandings with a poet's preoccupation with language. By analyzing these intersections, the metaphors arising from them generate the imaginative logic of Eliot's poetry. This study offers new insights into the poet's imagination and art.
