On Poetry & the Religious Imagination

I pass along these links courtesy of Ron Silliman's Blog.

First, a short but very nice REVIEW ESSAY: "The Things of This World" by David E. Anderson. This clear and useful (if overly simple) review of the "sacramental and the dialectical" seems to me particularly pertinent to Corbin's apophatic and "angelological" theology which is neither "Catholic" nor "Protestant" in the sense of this essay, but partakes of both. I think students of Corbin will find the piece thought-provoking.

And also "Karbala as a poetic metaphor and Iftikhar Arif " By Rauf Parekh.
