Imagems 1 contains six statements by a European poet who challenges modernism and post-modernism alike and extends (beyond) both. Richard Berengarten takes as his twin cues a statement by his mentor and friend, Octavio Paz, "For the first time in our history we are contemporaries of all humanity", and a short poem by his other mentor, George Seferis. For Berengarten, shared humanity is the demanding, necessary and irreducible core of all poetics. And its key-of-keys is magnanimity.
