Investigating elements of the creative process in the work of three poets: James Wright,
Gjertrud Schnackenberg, and Pegeen Kelly. Each poet deploys a different method for access to
those experiences that lie at the edge of accessible language. Each method is discussed and its
deployment illustrated. Wright leads us from the sensory world to the supersensual.
Schnackenberg makes use of the formal device of the fairy tale. Kelly immerses in the logic of
dreams. Drawing on Elaine Scarry's theory of the imagination, the case is made that the poetic
act is a dialectic between the poet and the sensory world, in which perception and imagination
are equally important.
