Yes, The Soul's Code is a relatively recent work, pitched at the general reader. Hillman is so interesting. He is one of the few psychologists around today who is not ashamed to use the word "soul". His influence has spawned a whole school of "Archetypal Psychology", with writers like Thomas Moore, Robert Sardello and David Miller.
Hillman's magnum opus remains his Re-Visioning Psychology, for me the most important work in modern psychology since Freud's dream book. There is so much food for poetry in that book, and it is never off my desk. I would also recomment The Dream and The Underworld and The Myth of Analysis.
Perhaps some time we might open a thread on the poetic implications of Hillman's work, which I see as legion.
