Reading 'On Love and Poetry - Or, where Philosophers Fear to Tread' an article by Jeremy Fernando published in 2011 we will ask if Plato is right and there is still no defence for poetry in 2013? Or if Fernando is correct suggesting that poetry and wisdom are of equal merit? Which makes you cringe, think, feel or understand more? Should the question be philosophy or poetry? Baudrillard or Boland? Agamden or Angelou? Heidiegger or Heaney? Or Derrida and Durcan?
His interesting and entertaining article can be viewed here
