Book Description
A failed public herald turned broadsheet bard, Cassra Besricton just can’t seem to keep her job or herself out of trouble. After she flippantly used a quote from Druidic writing to fill out one of her articles, the local grove is furious and demanding to know how she got a hold of a supposed lost verse. Others too want to know, and she soon finds herself dodging both spells and questions as she tries to avoid a cult of heretical druids. Now faced with the greatest tempest of her career, she learns there is far more at stake than simply her job as dark forces gather to summon an ancient evil, and she alone might hold the key to either damning the world or saving it.

T. S. Eliot and the Dynamic Imagination
Author: Sarah KennedyPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108687881
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
How is a poem made? From what constellation of inner and outer worlds does it issue forth? Sarah Kennedy's study of Eliot's poetics seeks out those images most striking in their resonance and recurrence: the 'sea-change', the 'light invisible' and the 'dark ghost'. She makes the case for these sustained metaphors as constitutive of the poet's imagination and art. Eliot was haunted by recurrence. His work is full of moments of luminous recognitions, moments in which a writer discovers both subject and appropriate image. This book examines such moments of recognition and invocation by reference to three clusters of imagery, drawing on the contemporary languages of literary criticism, psychology, physics and anthropology. Eliot's transposition of these registers, at turns wary and beguiled, interweaves modern understandings of originary processes in the human and natural world with a poet's preoccupation with language. The metaphors arising from these intersections generate the imaginative logic of Eliot's poetry.
