Abstract:

Demonstrates how a broad range of cognitive approaches can enhance our
analysis and understanding of poetry

*Offers practical analyses of a range of 21st century poems including Crates
by Jo Bell, Evening by Simon Armitage, 1801 by Sinead Morrissey, Hearsay by
John Burnside, Song of a Stone by Alice Oswald and End Timesby Kate Tempest

*Examines cutting edge concepts in cognition, such as world-building,
conceptual integration, embodiment, and distributed cognition

*Develops our understanding of key notions in poetics such as poetic metre,
performance, metaphor and intertextuality

Joanna Gavins presents some of the newest and most influential ideas in
cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics through clearly explained,
practical analyses of the work of some of the most popular and celebrated
poets currently writing in the British Isles. Through analysis of works by Jo
Bell, Simon Armitage, Sinead Morrissey, John Burnside, Alice Oswald and Kate
Tempest she demonstrates the practical use of cognitive frameworks as a means
of understanding poetry and its effects. Gavins examines cutting edge concepts
in cognition including world-building, conceptual integration, embodiment, and
distributed cognition and develops our understanding of key notions in poetics
such as poetic metre, performance, metaphor and intertextuality.

Each chapter of the book addresses a central poetic notion or feature of
poetic style from an innovative cognitive perspective, shedding new light on
established ideas about poetic creativity and language.
