The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard (Beacon Press 1958/1969) analyzes the poetic image and the power of linguistic expression through spatial vocabulary. The book is a deeply philosophical and poetic exploration of how we experience intimate spaces – like homes, rooms, drawers, nests, and corners – not just physically, but emotionally and imaginatively. The foreword is by Etienne Gilson.
