known poems are in free verse and
deal with the inner nature of ani-
mals and plants.
According to Dr. Brassard, Lawr-
ence’s poetic imagery is an exten-
sion of his personal philosophy
which contains many Eastern mys-
tical ideas. She noted that in his
essays he is quite specific about his
belief plants and animals are inher-
ently at one with the universe while
humans only obtain that ‘higher
state of being’’ when they are not in
a conscious state.
