• W2080857715 abstract "N HIS STUDY of religious beliefs and practices among Americans, Spir- itual Marketplace: Baby Boomers and the Remaking of American Religion, Wade Clark Roof observes that whether churchgoer or not, the sub- jective world of the American (is) a space open and spiritually revisable. To be American (is) to allow for cognitive and experiential shifts, to make and remake religious worlds (153). Roof uses terms such as lived reli- gion (157) and quest culture (Roof and Caron 119) to describe his coun- trymen's preference for a personal sense of spiritual meaning. Roof's assessment is correct, then America provides an unusually open space where spiritual ideas and faiths may be freely negotiated and combined according to individual preferences. This has a bearing on the solitary and contemplative tendency that George Lensing has identified in several of the country's greatest writers. As Lensing proposes, The great isolation of Hawthorne, Dickinson, Robinson, and Stevens suggests a peculiar dis- position of many American writers: their self-consciousness, their distrust of the world beyond an immediate circle, and, above all, the great inward probing that their art variously discloses (Poet's Growth 48). In her own reflections on American religious poetry, That Highest Candle (a title paying homage to Wallace Stevens), the novelist and essayist Marilynne Robinson speculates, furthermore, that If there is a single subject upon which the gaze of the major Americans has been fixed since Whitman and Dickinson, it is surely human mortality, consciousness thrown into sharp relief by the fact that consciousness as we know it will cease (138). In this essay, I will use as a starting point the idea that many American poets are interested in a solitary contemplation of death, and that this con- frontation with the end of consciousness is informed by their ever-adapt- ing belief systems. I would like to push the image of a privately questing artist one step further by proposing a specific hypothesis: the engagement with mortality can trigger a kind of mystical experience that harkens back much farther than the faith and practices of America's Protestant settlers— an experience that is more akin to those undergone by Eleusinian initiates. My focus on Greek mysteries has an affinity with Edward Clarke's recent comparative study of Yeats and Stevens, in which he sets out to uncov-" @default.
