Hailed by scholars as a major breakthrough in the field of myth and psychology, this brilliant new study by Daniel Deardorff proposes that a certain poetic consciousness is generated by those who inhabit societal and psychic margins. This consciousness is identified as 'Trickster-wisdom', a subversive virtue that provides creative and innovative benefits to the very same society that invalidates and excludes its so called 'misfits'.
