Investigations into the role and importance of poetry in the culture
of the mind and consciousness by some of our foremost practitioners
of the art. Tim Lilburn and his interlocutors have been carrying
on their "five-pointed conversation" about the relationship
between poetry and philosophy for over a decade. The results of
the moveable discussion have been delivered in a collection of impecably
written essays, each one stamped with the artistic personality of
the author.
