Behind the Arras: A Book of the Unseen: Journeys Through Mystic Realms and Unseen Wonders

In "Behind the Arras: A Book of the Unseen," Bliss Carman explores the delicate interplay between the seen and the unseen realms of human experience. Through his evocative and lyrical style, Carman delves into themes of spirituality and the ethereal aspects of existence, inviting readers to reflect on the mysteries that lie just beyond the tangible world. The collection is marked by a rich tapestry of imagery and symbolic language, typical of the Symbolist movement, where the poet seeks to convey deeper truths through the suggestive power of words rather than straightforward narratives. Bliss Carman (1861-1929), a pivotal figure in Canadian literature, was deeply influenced by his travels and the immersive landscapes of nature. His affinity for the mystical and the sublime can be traced back to his early life in New Brunswick, as well as his encounters with prominent literary figures like Walt Whitman. Carman's own spiritual explorations led him to seek out connections between humanity and the cosmos, capturing these insights within the evocative lines of this work. "Behind the Arras" is recommended for readers who seek a profound exploration of the human condition and its metaphysical dimensions. Carman'Äôs ability to weave whimsical yet contemplative poetry offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also an invitation to contemplate the unseen forces that shape our lives.
