Andrew, I think we differ mainly in taste, and slightly in our definitions. The type of philosophy that I am interested in is a practical philosophy, a way of living one's life with grace and meaning, and I do find useful insights for that in the works of Stallings, Espaillat, Dickinson, and many other poets, male and female. I have little interest in philosophies that take me out of this life and into another plane entirely. Hermetic poetry is not at all to my taste, and visionary poetry may be lovely, but is not closest to my heart.
