The Scottish poet Kenneth White and the Australian philosopher Jeff
Malpas came together by chance when Malpas heard an interview with
White on ABC radio. Malpas contacted White, and from there they
exchanged books and ideas. They arranged to meet at White's place
on the Breton coast, where a conversation about poetry and
philosophy developed over four days. Inspired by poets from John
Donne to Hoelderlin, and philosophers from Nietzsche to Heidegger,
they discussed the world, place, narrative, language and politics.
This book records that conversation. The Fundamental Field is made
up of two essays: the first is by White on Malpas; the second is by
Malpas on White. The volume closes with a set of three new
philosophical poems by White.
