Summary/Abstract: The article is focused on Lesley Saunders’ volume of poems entitled The Walls Have Angels approached via Bachelard’s aesthetics, more precisely via the“inside/outside dialectics” through which we will prove how the poetess contemplates both the being and the non-being through the circuits of the verb “tobe”. The verb “to be” also associated with the truths and factual facts of Saunders’ poetry is comprised in the Notes inserted at the end of the volume of poems entitled The Walls Have Angels. The Notes are focused on various real topics regarding the British community which the poetess has tackled in highly inspired poems. Her poems will be expanded upon using Lakoff’s experiential gestalt and Bachelard’s archetype of intimacy. The concept of Logos will be also considered in order to show how phonetic phenomena associated with the phenomenon of Logos enter a harmonious relation when things co-exist with the conscience of our existence in the world.
