Final Thesis Phil Isherwood
CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Bolton Institutional Repository (UBIR) Numinous Connections: Poetry in the Hospice Philip Isherwood A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Bolton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2015 Numinous Connections - Poetry in the Hospice - Philip Isherwood A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Bolton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Philip Isherwood Numinous Connections: Poetry in the Hospice Abstract This thesis offers a distinctive approach to writing poetry which has been developed within the context of the author’s/researcher’s observations of, and participation in, end of life care. It will be argued that poetry can have a unique role in supporting patients within a hospice setting. It emerges that there may be a further role of the poem as ‘memorial art’. The practical base to the research has been writing poetry based on conversations with, and the creative artwork of, hospice patients throughout a period of over three years. These working methods have enabled the author to produce a substantial collection of poetry, presented at the start of the thesis, as the prime evidence of the value of the approach. In this research context the ‘numinous’ is interpreted from its extended definition as relating to transcendence, wonder and otherness. Particular components of the writing practice have formed a ‘numinous poetics’. The numinous as a focus in this research has emerged through careful and scholarly reading and reflection as part of the author’s response to the perceived qualities and value of the poems as they were written. -
