'In his analysis of Judith Beveridge's poetry, Mike Heald contrasts
poetic and philosophical engagements with Buddhism, arguing that "the
imagination produces a conception of transcendence very different from
that found in the meditative tradition," with the effect that in Beveridge's
Siddhattha, the reader encounters "a figure who bodies forth the ineluctable
suffering of the human condition, and thus the perennial elusiveness and
implausibility of transcendence, rather than one who embodies the promise
and indeed successful realisation of transcendence." This appears to be an
occasion in which affect-driven literature diverges substantially from
philosophical myth narratives, albeit in a complementary rather than a
mutually exclusive manner.' (Source: Introduction p. 4)
