SPIRITUAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL DIRECTION IN POETRY BY INA COOLBRITH AND CHARLES WARREN STODDARD
Abstract
On the material of poetic works by I. Coolbrith
and Ch. W. Stoddard we considered the issue of the representation
features of spiritual and philosophical experiences
in their poems. It was shown that, despite the widespread
opinion according to which local color authors subject range
is usually limited to the regional myth interpretation and the
landscape lyric, the local color poetry of the USA Far West
included quite a few works devoted to the manifestations of
human psychic life. We concluded that spiritual and philosophical
poems of indicated authors differ in many criteria but
they are united by aspiration display to good and beauty, and
also faith in a better future.
