Synopsis
The classic book on how we experience intimate spaces.
"A magical book. . . . A prism through which all worlds from literary creation to housework to aesthetics to carpentry take on enhanced—and enchanted-significances. Every reader of it will never see ordinary spaces in ordinary ways. Instead the reader will see with the soul of the eye, the glint of Gaston Bachelard." —from the foreword by John R. Stilgoe

June 03, 2004: This work has a poetic kind of thinking that gives a special meaning to our ordinary experience. The world is more than we ordinarily think it to be. It is more than we ordinarily perceive. The world of our experience comes alive in wonder through our thought. Reflection is all.
