An epic journey through multiple hells taking place just below the surface of a college professor's day-to-day life.
Exploring the concept of "unsignificance," this collection of lectures delves into poetry's evolution from ancient times to modernity, examining works by Homer, Gertrude Stein, and Ronald Johnson. Reddy uses visual art, including Bruegel's iconic painting and Rorschach's inkblots, to illuminate his discussions. The lectures traverse themes of portraiture, similes, and the poetics of wonder, providing a unique perspective on the interplay between poetry and imagery throughout Western literary history.
