about

“This poem is the most sophisticated exploration of anything I’ve ever read, of the way that the soul moves; complexly, and slowly, and with determination, from unconsciousness to consciousness.” — Dr. Dennis Patrick Slattery

Dante’s Divine Comedy is an iconic literary work that has influenced Western culture for centuries. The story of his pilgrimage through Hell and Purgatory to Paradise still resonates with us today, and the image of being lost in a dark wood is familiar to many who have never read the poem.

According to Dr. Slattery, contemplation of the symbolic world that Dante created can reveal the contours of your personal myth. In his book Day to Day Dante: Exploring Personal Myth Through the Divine Comedy, Dr. Slattery guides the reader through the poem and connects Dante’s journey with the contemporary experience.

Dennis Patrick Slattery, Ph.D., is Core Faculty at Pacifica Graduate Institute in the Mythological Studies and Depth Psychology Programs. Honored as Distinguished Professor in 2007, Dr. Slattery is the author of over 200 articles and book reviews, as well as the author, co-author, editor, or co-editor of 23 books. His recent books are Bridgework: Essays on Mythology, Literature, and Psychology and Creases in Culture: Essays Towards a Poetics of Depth.
