Despite Nicolas Abraham's fame as a psychoanalyst and philosopher, few people are aware of the direct relevance of his work to issues of poetics and literary theory. The fourth volume of his posthumous publication, Rhythms explores the relationship between the interpretation of texts and psychoanalysis. The three essays offer a new approach to the problem of literary creation and a psychoanalytic definition of temporality.
