Dante's Divine Comedy is one of those classics more often cited than read. This is a shame because, in addition to being an artistic masterpiece, it's a roadmap for self-discovery and transformation. There's good reason why Dante chooses the Latin poet Virgil as his guide. The Comedy is all about poiesis: the creative emergence of one's true self, the transition from sleepwalking to full awakening Awakening to Wholeness presents a reader-friendly guide to the transformative pilgrimage Dante offers us in his Comedy. Leaving historical and literary analysis to Dante experts and aficionados, its aim is to help readers appreciate that the Comedy's imaginative journey through hell, purgatory, and heaven invites them to reflect on their own life journeys. Kerry Walters offers commentary that inspires readers to reflect on the anxieties and desires that keep them trapped inside the false self (inferno), the path to liberating self-discovery (purgatorio), and the illuminating nature of wholeness (paradiso).
