Böcker av Jerry Harp

Emphasizing the constant motion of sense metaphors of cognition, this work provides readings of Shakespeare's ""Hamlet"", Aemilia Lanyer's ""Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum"", and Descartes' ""Meditations on First Philosophy"". It is of interest to literary scholars and students of the early modern period, as well as scholars of the history of consciousness.

This collection engages with traditional forms and carries out various kinds of experimentation centering on the physical meaning of life. The poems confront issues of cognitive, spiritual and erotic experience, and address longing and desire in the material world. The Creature yearns for new language in which we can all more truly live.
