The analysis of the unconscious should be a geography rather than history.”
a wonderful thing in poetry is to take the imagery of one domain, say geography or physics, and apply it to another domain. I wrote a poem once after reading about quantum physics and the notion that light is both particles and rays... but when while you can measure the speed of the rays, you cannot measure their mass. While measuring the mass of the particles, you cannot measure the speed -- I might have this wrong... it resulted in a poem for my then baby daughter which ended in the hope that the play of light against the hard face of reality offered both the particles and the rays to make it to the next cup of coffee. ... phree, my book is on its way to you.
