Another indication of the continuing influence of Henry Corbin - this time explicitly in the work of Joseph Donahue. This is a fine essay, well worth the attention of admirers of Corbin's work.[See this review of Donohue's Terra Lucida.]

I enjoyed the essa very much. To find new voices in poetry is hard. I hav elong admired Oppen, and to know that he has heirs is significant. I am also a keen studen of Corbin; his work has influenced mine in prose. In fact, I met his wife many years ago in Paris.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am in Italy, one a two month sojourn. I am interested in setting up a convivium here at Villa Corliano (see web). You may be interested in this prospect - possiby next year in May.
I have and do lecture occasionally in Michigan. But my essential background is literature - novels, essays and poetry (seek Wikipedia).
Thank you again for this essay.
Best wishes,
James Cowan
