While the poet’s craft requires a mastery of verse, meter, and language,
there is a kind of imagination that is the true heart of poetry. As poet
David Whyte says, this is not the sort of imagination that allows us to
think up clever ideas or new inventions—it is our capacity to see beyond
the surface of appearance and into what is true. “Poetic imagination,” says
David, “is your ability to discover a central image inside you that makes
sense of all the thousands of other images you receive.” In this audio clip,
he provides a beautiful illustration of poetic imagination in action, revealing
through example why this is a faculty each one of us possesses.
