This monograph is a study of poetry as an alternative way of seeing
the world and of obtaining insights into realities that enable the
reader to see the vast otherness that usually eludes. The process
of creativity is discussed. The influences of other disciplines on
the heightening of consciousness are described as well as
methodologies of observation that have been employed in the last
100 years are elucidated. Attention is paid to the specific
contribution of modern Irish poetry especially in the role of the
poet in society. Works of three non English poets (Salinas, Lorca
and Pasternak) are appraised in some detail and the role of these
three poets in their societies discussed with a view to the
vindication of poetic insight and illumination against societal
forces that would destroy the poet and his poetry. The final
section of the work deals with poetry as an art form uniquely able
to interpret a fragmented and arid post modern world. Irish
