Goblins and Pagodas by John Gould Fletcher
QR code
"Goblins and Pagodas" by John Gould Fletcher is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. The book explores the nuances of human emotion and the interplay between art, nature, and the human experience, drawing on Fletcher's innovative perspectives on aesthetics and poetic form. It reflects the modernist movements of its time, with a focus on emotional depth, sensory experiences, and a departure from traditional artistic conventions. The collection is
divided into two main sections: "The Ghosts of an Old House" and "Symphonies." In the first section, Fletcher delves into his childhood memories and emotions tied to a haunting old house, using vivid imagery and personification to evoke feelings of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time. The second section consists of a series of poems titled "Symphonies," each of which represents different emotional states through colors and landscapes, from the blue depths of solitude to the fiery reds of existential struggle. Throughout the book, Fletcher intertwines his personal experiences with broader themes of art and the artist's journey, culminating in a rich tapestry of lyrical expression and introspection.
