This book has three distinctive characteristics: (1) It offers a
widely interdisciplinary perspective; (2) It provides a
comprehensive view of poetry, with groups of chapters on the Sound
Stratum of Poetry (rhyme patterns and gestalt theory; metre and
rhythm; expressiveness and musicality of speech sounds); the
Units-of-Meaning Stratum (semantic representation and information
processing, metaphor, rhyme and meaning, literary synaesthesia);
the World Stratum; Regulative Concepts (genre, period style,
archetypal patterns); the Poetry of Orientation and Disorientation
(experiential and mystic poetry versus poetry of emotional
disorientation; and the grotesque); the Poetry of Altered States of
Consciousness (hypnotic and ecstatic poetry); Critics and
Criticism; and Cognitive Poetics vs. Cognitive Linguistics; (3) It
goes into minute details of poetic texts, so as to account for
subtle intuitions of readers. Updating from the first edition
consists of samples from the author's later instrumental study of
the rhythmical performance of poetry and the expressiveness of
speech sounds; and in three chapters responding to the later work
of three cognitive linguists.
