THE DYNAMIC DIALECTICS OF LESLEY SAUNDERS’ “THE LEAFY EYE” VIA BACHELARD’S AESTHETIC THEORY

Summary/Abstract: The paper expands upon Lesley Saunders’ poetry approached via Bachelard’s aesthetic constructs: phenomenology and existentialism of the poetics, the dialectics of the open and the closed, the cosmology of the eye, elements of elementary psychology, centres of inverted metamorphosis, unconscious drives embodied under the form of archetypal images. They are all functional due to the relationship that exists between Memory and Imagination and have been analysed in various poems from the volume “The Leafy Eye.”
