The Poetics of Space

by Gaston Bachelard

ISBN 9780143107521

About This Book

Contemplated by philosophers, architects, writers, and literary theorists alike, Bachelard's lyrical, landmark work examines the places in which we place our conscious and unconscious thoughts and guides us through a stream of cerebral meditations on poetry, art, and the blooming of consciousness itself.

Editorial Note

A phenomenology of intimate spaces — the house, the attic, the drawer, the corner. Bachelard uses poetry and reverie to show how space shapes consciousness.
