Spiritual Intimations [EPUB ebook] 

The poetic sequel to ‘Stressing the Essential’, this 1983 collection of some thirty-four poems in free verse is even more ideologically homogeneous, as it strives to delineate and advance, within poetic form, the concept of Social Transcendentalism as bearing on a variety of contexts, not least political, religious, cultural, and social. Certainly ‘Spiritual Intimations’ is poetically more assured than its precursor, as well as deeper and thematically more expansive, without being, in any sense, truly reflective of the author’s mature philosophy.
