Eleanor Robins writes in service of imagination. Her work has been featured in publications such as the Guardian, the Times Literary Supplement, the Washington Post, and the LA Times. Her Substack, How to Go Home, is a newsletter devoted to essays, reflections, and conversations about imagination and the imaginal realm.
A steward of dreams and stories, Eleanor studies the phenomena of the imaginal realm and how it shapes us and our relationship with reality. Following in the tradition of thinkers and mystics such as Henry Corbin and Cynthia Bourgeault, Eleanor and Andy’s conversation explores the imaginal realm as a real place apart from the physical, one with its own mode of perception separate from our ordinary waking consciousness; the space between the spiritual and the material; the dreamtime of the gods.
"I Am Like a Leaf" by Yone Noguchi The silence is broken: into the nature My soul sails out, Carrying the song of life on his brow, To meet the flowers and birds. When my heart returns in the solitude, She is very sad, Looking back on the dead passions Lying on Love’s ruin. I am like a leaf Hanging over hope and despair, Which trembles and joins The world’s imagination and ghost.
