Anarchists, academics, general interested political folks!:
I'm looking for writings on the importance of political imagination for political progress.

I feel like I often come across this kind of thinking in passing in radical literature (e.g. 'even just asking the question about what a world without prisons might look like itself makes it possible'), but I don't know that I know of an essay or book length defense of its importance. Ideas?

@pjw
saw many good ideas in the answers; i'd add
Srećko Horvat, 'Poetry from the Future. Why a Global Liberation Movement Is Our Civilization's Last Chance'.
