Overview

"A land lost in the distanceThe fact that Atlantis is a lost land has made of it a metaphor for something no longer attainable. For the American poet Edith Willis Linn Forbes (1865-1945), ""The Lost Atlantis"" stands for idealisation of the past; the present moment can only be treasured once that is realised. Ella Wheeler Wilcox finds the location of ""The Lost Land"" (1910) in one's carefree youthful past. Similarly, for the Irish poet Eavan Boland in ""Atlantis, a lost sonnet"" (2007), the idea was defined when ""the old fable-makers searched hard for a word/ to convey that what is gone is gone forever"".For some male poets too, the idea of Atlantis is constructed from what cannot be obtained. Charles Bewley in his Newdigate Prize poem (1910) thinks it grows from dissatisfaction with one's condition, And, because life is partly sweetAnd ever girt about with pain, We take the sweetness, and are fainTo set it free from grief's alloyin a dream of Atlantis. Similarly for the Australian Gary Catalano in a 1982 prose poem, it is ""a vision that sank under the weight of its own perfection"".W. H. Auden, however, suggests a way out of such frustration through the metaphor of journeying toward Atlantis in his poem of 1941.While travelling, he advises the one setting out, you will meet with many definitions of the goal in view, only realising at the end that the way has all the time led inward.so here is ""Atlantis"", by the author Phillip Michael Callaghan, a collection of thought provoking poetry, filled with imagination, beneath the waves of the past, a time long gone but forever set in stone."
