Great interview! I got a chuckle when you referred to the otherworldly as sometimes offering a flirtatious glimpse, a hint of ankle. An appropriate analogy to a poet who draws on Freud and alchemical imagery.
An enjoyable interview, not been here before; interesting and humorous. Noted the reference to a hundred years since modernism: I used the ‘Wasteland’ as a template in 2022 to have a look at, and contrast the 1922 then and a century on now. Good to hear this poet read some of his work, and David reciting from memory, and mentioning the Jaberwocky. This is the good stuff you get from people that get along with their cats and dogs 😊.
On receiving literary art as a gift from elsewhere… I do recall somewhere that Dostoevsky (I think I heard Rowan Williams talking about this somewhere) would write multiple copies of at least portions of manuscripts, and in doing so some people have taken him to be obsessively, trying to control the story or characters, but what he in fact was doing, was looking for a character to whom he could be obedient. So that does strike me as ultimately reception of a gift that transcends the human mind and yet works through the creativity of the divinely given human mind and creativity.
Despite having rather poor hand writing(and spelling , grammar and syntax overall) recently getting a fountain pen and dip pen( and chinese brush) mainly for drawing has made me see how much smoother it feels and makes the penmenship, I have a friend a poet with a massive collection of fountain pens and now I here asking him for recommendations.
There is a public collective writing project thats quite popular online called the SCP Foundation and its a collection of supernatural, paranormal stories and ''anonymous beings'' . That seems somewhat reminiscent of the Immanent Foundation , which ill have to check out.
Hi Dr. Hart, For those of us-artists and musicians of all kinds-who've read your work, what books on philosophical or theological aesthetics do you recommend reading? I'm currently reading (quite fanatically) all those body of works you mentioned in various places: all those books on Japanese aesthetics; 'plant and animal cognition' too; and I'm also reading the Oxford Handbook of Decadence ('cause you mentioned 'decadence' one time); Eugene McCarraher's work is amazing and valuable too. I'm also planning to read a book titled, "Incomprehensible Certainty: Metaphysics and Hermeneutics of the Image" by Thomas Pfau (whom you probably know, or not). I was hoping if you could recommend any addition to these...

Surprised you haven't heard of him, due to some of your overlaps.
@@leavesinthewind7441You're welcome. I am an internet addict, so I have the opposite problem. Hopefully our interaction has created a symbiosis in that regard.
Back to back posts! Great to see you're back David. Hope you are well.
Very well, thanks.
Unexpectedly coming across new DBH content is always pleasant. Glad to see you back, David.
I left my hat behind, so I had to come back for it.

You are such a tease David!
Natural charm is so hard to suppress.

Bishop Barron has spoken favorably of your work. Have you had (or would you have) a conversation with him?
I don’t know who he is, I’m afraid.

@@bman5257I’m not what’s called “Internet literate,” to be honest. Thanks for filling me in.
