The Recitals of H.D.

H. D., and Michael Boughn. Narthex & Other Stories. Toronto: BookThug, 2011.

I have this book now in hand. As I mentioned in an earlier post Boughn's Afterword argues that H.D.'s stories functioned for her as visionary recitals in Corbin's sense. I recommend this slim volume to anyone with an interest in Corbin & literature. Boughn writes,

"These three stories are visionary recitals in that they are the passage of the soul from one level of experience to another, one level of reality to another, where a further sense of meaning reveals itself - where vision expands, grows into new astonishing spaces."
