Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Ted hughes: a poet or a shamanic priest. 2. Creating new horizons. 3. Reviving human life. 4. Ritual death: a precondition for redemption. 5. The crow poems. 6. Ritual cleansing. 7. Poetic essence. The present book is an attempt to explore Ted Hughes extraordinary abilities as a Shamanic poet. He carries with him healing powers like a shaman and believes that a poet can lead his readers to a world of peace happiness and bliss through the rhythms of his poetry. Hughes endeavours in this respect reflect the teaching of all gnostic texts. All maintain the importance of re-union with the source for healing, revival and redemption of life. All confirm that there is no easy way that this can be achieved the only way is through repeated sacrifice, suffering humility and love. This is the path that the epic heroes tread and this is the path Hughes has chosen for himself. Despite the clear influence of eastern philosophies in some of Hughe's poetry, his path is not the eastern mystics path of retreat inwards ways from reality but the very western path of confrontation with the energies a confrontation which is however presented in Hughe's poetry as an inward journey.
