Considering Emily Dickinson, William Blake, and several other poets, The Poet and the Fly brings together the poetry, the flies, and the poets' own lives to explore the imaginative, and often prophetic, insights that come from the startling combination of poetry and flies, the extraordinary and the ordinary. Ultimately, the message each poet offers to us through the fly is as relevant today as it was in their own time: the miracle of existence, the gift of mortality, the power of the imagination, the need for compassion, the existence of the soul, the mystery of everything around us, and the sacramental, grace-giving power of story. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-215). 505 0 $a Existence : Thomas Traherne -- Mortality : William Oldys -- Imagination : William Blake -- Compassion : Kobayashi Issa -- The soul : Emily Dickinson -- Things : Guillaume Apollinaire -- Story : Robert Farren -- Epilogue : Mystery and faith -- Appendix : A few more fly poems 650 0 $a Flies $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Poetry $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Insects in literature. 650 7 $a Flies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00927282 650 7 $a Insects in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00974196 650 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067691 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013024.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1869E63EBFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
