Richard Gilbert（リチャード・ギルバート） 著 人間の認知プロセスそのものは一種の詩である。認知言語学などを援用し、俳句の奥深さを探る！日本及び世界の現代俳句の作品を、認知神経科学、認知言語学、文体論、心理言語学、および意識研究などの知見を活かして分析し、詩的想像力がいかに人間の内面につながっているか、そして社会的・文化的な重要性を持っているかを論じる。そして特に思考空間（Thoughtspace）の理論を用い、210の俳句を分析したことは、学術上特筆すべき成果である。 |

Poetry as Consciousness will take the reader on a deep dive into the role that mind plays in the process of poetic creation. Richard Gilbert, one of the world’s leading theorists in English-language haiku, introduces the reader to a broad range of terms and concepts borrowed from such disciplines as archetypal psychology, cognitive linguistics, literary theory, neurophenomenology, philosophy, Buddhism, comparative religions, Roman and Greek mythology, as well as the ethical-technology design movement in order to broaden our understanding of the poetic process, which Gilbert describes as a “psycho-poetic landscape of thought,” a shared consciousness between poet and reader that also provides access to mythopoetic realities. After a careful reading of the challenging theoretical sections, the reader should be rewarded with a different perspective regarding why we find poetry so engaging. Gilbert then describes in detail this shared landscape of the poetic imagination as thoughtspace, a territory comprised of 7 properties and 36 qualities that he intriguingly illustrates with 216 haiku which also feature a disjunctive style. Something that should also appeal to readers is the interview-written data of poets whose words Gilbert uses to describe specific kinds of alternative communities, where, as authentic places for the poetic imagination, poets may dwell.
Poetry as Consciousness invites the reader to consider the view that, through mythopoetic imagination,
consciousness presents experiences of realities that enlarge who we are.
To accomplish this, however, requires freedom in thoughtspace, indeed,
as Gilbert argues, it is necessary to embrace “an ethics of freedom.” Poetry as Consciousness simply helps us better understand the visceral and transformative impact
that poetry, and haiku in particular, has upon our lives.

We need poetry more than ever, if only to recognize ourselves. Richard
Gilbert’s Poetry as Consciousness reminds us that indeed at a fundamental level we are poetry -- that the co-creative “poetic space of mind” is a primary and essential expression of our being-human in the world.
Poetry as Consciousness is sublime, a compelling picture of poetry as the languaging of the creative
substance and alchemy of mind and soul, as Gilbert also peers further through
the veil to give vocabulary to the elusive haiku genre within the context
of its role as a cognitive poetics. I believe we will continue to find
how much we need this work and others in a like vein as we explore the
new interior frontiers of the 21st Century.
