Poetry and the fate of the senses

What is the role of the senses in the creation and reception of poetry? This work traces the path of the aesthetic in search of an explanation for the role of poetry in culture. It draws on readings from the ancient Greeks to the postmoderns to explain how poetry creates meaning between persons.
