    Circumference of inquiry By james a. galgano Get it. Got it. Good! Maybe this is the way it should be If not, then soon certainly When all information has been ingested Allowed to fester then percolate as brew. Quenching an endless thirst for more Then once digested as palatable stew. Devoured as if famished of what we adore. As it slowly flows down esophagus invested With all hope willfully implored with certainty That beyond all doubt this is the way it must be Delicately delivered into each limb and gland Anticipating some profound revelation once ignored As if once upon a time some ox has been gored. In sacrifice as if to remedy or by chance renew All elusive dreams by mere circumstance reflected. Upon familiar broken mirror before which we stand Much too often impatiently to gather what we once knew To be true yet escaped our every barren bone of contention. Without further mention we await answers as if food To satisfy our often now obvious conjecture echoed aloud. Get it. Got it. Good!

    The book 'Emily Dickinson And The Search For Meaning' examines her place in the context of American literature of the time and her questing exploration of the internal world of spirit and intellect. After taking the reader through the days of her life and quaint relationships she had had, the book attempts to evaluate the complex symbolism of her poems and her unique interpretation of her poetic device of 'circumference'. Circumference, for Emily Dickinson, meant a host of complex interpretations, but is also death - the transitional point between the familiar world and immortality. Based on a doctoral thesis, this book explores the subject of her life-long search for meaning: it tries to comprehend the intricate metaphysical philosophy that she developed in her life time, symbolised by her fascination with all things spherical, and termed in her own language as circumference. She consciously strove to disrupt the natural flow of the literary tide of the day and create a new idiom, syntax and vision, perhaps arising from her deliberate self-exclusion from society. The view of the world from her window, from the window of her heart, presents today a marvellous, intriguing and radically new perspective which entices every reader to seek to know more about her and her life. The book is based on a doctoral thesis of Dr CK Mathew.
