About The Future Poetry & The Evolution of Consciousness

Part of an initiative from the Sri Aurobindo Centre for Advanced Research, this book is a study that examines Sri Aurobindo’s poetics in the fields of poetry and literature and across disciplines such as linguistics, philosophy, and literary and critical theory. It references poets of the East and the West, ancient and modern, including the Upanishads, Natyashastra, Chhandashastra, and Kalidasa as well as Aristotle, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, and Eliot. Its culmination instills in the reader a deeper understanding of Sri Aurobindo’s theory of poetics and the ideal spirit of poetry, the future poetry, akin to the mantra, the highest form of poetic thought and expression. As a literary critic, poet, and visionary, Sri Aurobindo’s perspectives are always firmly situated in the evolution of consciousness.
