The Future Poetry
In The Future Poetry, Sri Aurobindo examines the evolution of poetry, focusing particularly on English poetry, from the mantric hymns of the Vedic period to the free verse of the modern era. The idea of "a new deeper intuitive poetry" that "speaks of new things and of old things in a new way" is then explored by the author. A altered perspective of the universe would be provided by this new poetry, and it would also "return to us the sense of the Eternal, the presence of the Divine which has been snatched from us for a time by a brain too narrowly and curiously fixed on the exterior and physical world."
