Robin Blaser, Henry Corbin & James Hillman

The Holy Forest  Collected Poems of Robin Blaser
Revised and Expanded Edition. Edited by Miriam Nichols. Foreword by Robert Creeley. With a New Afterword by Charles Bernstein.


As I've mentioned before (here) Blaser draws on Corbin both in this volume and in his Collected Essays. You can find these quotes at Google Books, or preferably, in your own copy...


On page 238, the quote is from Man of Light, p. 4.
On page 339, from Hillman's "Thought of the Heart."
On page 500, from Creative Imagination, p. 203.

For those who may not know, Hillman's Eranos Lecture "The Thought of the Heart" is an extended response to Corbin and a must read for all with an interest in Corbin's influence. Hillman's essay can be read here.
