Today’s program is about the “sixth sense,” that is, about how premonitions, intuitions, ghosts and other related things may be used as structural motifs and as parts of metaphoric and thematic frameworks in poetry. I consider the idea of “non-ordinary realities,” mysticism, and knowledge that comes from outside of or beyond the five physical senses I talked about in my earlier programs. To illustrate those ideas, I read an excerpt from William Blake and then poems by Australian poet Christopher (Kit) Kelen and by Chicagoan Steven Schroeder. I end with two of my own poems as examples of how mystical/magical elements and ghosts (manifestations of that “sixth sense”) might be incorporated into poetry.
