Book Synopsis
Our thoughts are shaped as much by what things make of us as by what we make of them. The author explores the world of objects and phenomena in nature as expressed in romantic poetry alongside the theme of sentience and sensory deprivation in literature and art. She discusses about objects and attributes that test our perceptions.

Trade Review
"This richly wide-ranging meditation on the lyrical mode and its representation of things reflects on the relationship between sensate and insensate forms, the emotive and poetic, philosophy and poetry, and literature and visual culture....Poignantly reminds us of the importance of the poetic act in seeing things anew." (European Romantic Review)
