Margaret H. Freeman is Co-Director of the Myrifield Institute for Cognition and the Arts, MA, USA. Professor Freeman's past publications include The Poem as Icon: A Study in Aesthetic Cognition (2020).

A must-read not only for literary scholars, but also for students of literature and even amateur poetry lovers who seek intel­lectual satisfaction in confronting literature. It is strongly recommended both for academic and personal use, as closing the final page of the book, we remain truly astonished by this, at the same time, familiar and new experience as much as we do “know that is poetry” and that there is no other way.
