Book summary

Bachelard's work is as much a phenomenology of house, home, and poetry as it is of mind, the two intimately engendering one another.

Media reviews

"A magical book....'The Poetics of Space' is a prism through which all worlds from literary creation to housework to aesthetics to carpentry take on enhanced--and enchanted--significances. Every reader of it will never see ordinary spaces in ordinary ways. Instead the reader will see with the soul of the eye, the glint of Gaston Bachelard."
