About Poetry of the Future
The study of Sri Aurobindo’s The Future Poetry and his theory of poetics is the subject of this scholarly work, which grew out of a series of talks on the book, streamed on YouTube. The author reflects on Sri Aurobindo as both critic and philosopher and focuses on the book’s exploration of what would be the ideal spirit of poetry. Part One considers how Sri Aurobindo defines and comments on the essential aspects of poetry and his theory of mantric poetry. Part Two is a lengthy analysis of the character and the evolution of English poetry. In Part Three we find the high philosophy that grounds the poetry of the future, the philosophy of Poetic Truth, which Sri Aurobindo describes in discourses on “The Five Suns of Poetry”. The future poetry will demand a new manner of speech capable of holding and expressing the direct self-experience of the soul.
