Metafisica e inconscio nella Poesia di arturo onofri

Abstract

This article examines the influence of Rudolph Steiner's spirituality and inner techniques on Onofri's poetry. In such a philosophical/experiential context, the poetic process discloses an active role in connecting the personal psyche with the collective unconscious. Analysing some of the fundamental images weaved through a text, words and verses are linked with archetypal emotions and a symbolic reading that leads beyond the dryness of the metaphysical jargon. Onofri's cosmic yearning thus points to an experience of universal transformation where poetry returns to the sapiential role of soul-making.
