Abstract
The first poem explored involves ‘you’: the you who has written ‘you’ and the ‘you’ who reads. In this simple pronoun the possibilities of Auden's numbered poem multiply, reflecting the experience of reading and the drama of writing. The phenomenology of Self/creation is intimately bound to the phenomenology of Journey – a story of origins, a creative route and end to the Self – as this article creatively demonstrates through investigation of two of Auden's poems. Poetry, the hidden self of language, provides the entryway to understanding self and other. Using the metaphor of the kidney, this article strives playfully to explain the message of human experience.
