Thanks, Farasha. I've been reading about Kathleen Raine recently, and find that you and she have a great deal in common on poetry. You may be familiar with Temenos, which she founded, along with Philip Sherrard and others. They do good work.
Thank you again, Robert. Kathleen Raine was a wonderful person. I know some people who knew her personally, and they all say she was a saintly individual. I will be referencing some of her poems later in my series of articles. Her "Millennial Hymn to Lord Shiva" says everything I have been trying to say, but in a more concise and beautiful manner. Additionally, her book Blake and Tradition was life-changing for me when I first read it 20 some odd years ago.
By the way, if you are not already familiar with his work, I can highly recommend the poetry of William Everson / Brother Antoninus.
