2 concepts are presented in this report: (a) poetry with trance-inductive potency, and (b) trance-augmented aesthetic experience. The report is an update and revision into modern language of parts of Snyder's book, Hypnotic Poetry, published in 1930. A list of poems with strong trance-inductive potency is given. These are contrasted with a second list of poems with virtually no trance-inductive potency. Historic perspectives are given to clarify that most of the poems on the 2 lists were written during the Romantic period when many poets were actively striving to explore imagination as a creative faculty. An analysis is then given of the poetic techniques productive of the trance-inductive effect. These are (a) freedom from abruptness, (b) marked regularity of soothing rhythm, (c) refrain and frequent repetition, (d) ornamented harmonious rhythm to fix attention, (e) vagueness of imagery, and (f) fatiguing obscurities. Finally, practical advice is given on producing the trance-inductive effect.
