Valentina asked:

I'm very much interested to learn about the "poetic of space". If you could give me some tips about
this then I would be grateful.

the Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard is one of a series of books he wrote on poetics and
nothing more authoritative and inspirational is found on the subject as far as I know. Bachelard was a
famous professor of the History of Science at the Sorbonne in Paris and there is a bust of him on
display in one of the corridors. I believe alongside the other great luminaries of French philosophy. It
was only later in life that he turned to poetics out of a profound feeling for his language. All the tips
you need and much more will be found in Bachelard's book.
