A Discourse Upon the Essence and Form of Poetry by Fabre D'Olivet is a philosophical exploration of the nature of poetry and its relationship to language, art, and human consciousness.

He argues that poetry has the power to transform the way we see the world and ourselves, and that it is essential to the development of a truly holistic and integrated understanding of human experience.Written in a dense and challenging style, A Discourse Upon the Essence and Form of Poetry is a work of profound philosophical insight and poetic beauty.
