"I see poetry as the way of language under cutting itself,...as it were..., to do something that ordinary language can't do... The interesting thing about poetry is that it's very much right hemisphere dependent, because it involves all...implicit...things, like metaphors..., and tone, and associations of ideas, and so on. The right hemisphere is much better at this. The left hemisphere can read a repair manual for a lawnmower... There's a difference between certain kinds of language..." https://youtu.be/v4IeuIg9nGY?t=3425 #IainMcGilchrist #poetry
