HEARING IN THE WRITE

A purely philosophical-poetic work, ‘Hearing in the Write’ shows a marvellous fluidity and rapidity of thought. While it neither advocates nor adheres to any philosophy per se; a philosophy in the sense of being a time-honoured discipline hauling and dragging after itself otiose luggage of correct principles of reasoning, it definitely does concern itself in its own lyrical way with profound questions on what exists, what are some of the essential natures of things, how we live our lives, what ‘knowledges’ are thought to be, and above all it concerns itself with safeguarding the spontaneity of speculation. This delightfully exhilarating work has healing qualities about it in that through means of its powerfully nebulous thought engagements it encourages the mind back out into the heartland of wondrously uninhibited speculations. ‘Hearing in the Write’ presents diversion and digression in thought and expression as essential ingredients for the good of our intellectual health. {Cover artwork: ‘A Man Writing at his Desk’ Jan Ekels the Younger (1759-1793)}
