- ‘Poetry in the Mind: The Cognition of Contemporary Poetic Style’ is an 80,000-word monograph which uses some of the newest research in cognitive linguistics and cognitive psychology to shed light on key poetic notions, such as poetic metre, performance, intertextuality, and metaphor. It is the first book-length cognitive analysis focused entirely on contemporary poetic texts. It examines six poems in depth and in their entirety as case-studies, while also arguing for the wider applicability of concepts such as distributed cognition, deictic projection, and chronostasis to our understanding of the cognition of poetic style.
