Poetics of Cognition investigates the material effects of
experimental poetics using new evidence emerging from cognitive
science. It asks: How do experimental poems “think” and how do
we think through them? Examining experimental modes such as the New
Sentence, proceduralism, projective verse, sound poetry, and visual
poetry, Jessica Lewis Luck argues that experimental poems
materialize not so much the content as the activity of the embodied
mind, and they can thus function as a powerful scaffolding for
extended cognition, both for the writer and the reader. While
current critical approaches tend to describe the effects of
experimentalism solely in terms of emotion and sensation, Luck
shifts from the feeling to the thinking that these poems can
generate, expanding the potential blast radius of experimental
poetic effects into areas of linguistic, sonic, and visual
processing and revealing a transformational potency that strictly
affective approaches miss. The cognitive research Luck draws upon
suggests that the strangeness of experimental poetry can reshape
the activity of the reader’s mind, creating new forms of
attention, perception, and cognition. This book closes by shifting
from theory to praxis, extracting forms of teaching from the forms
of thinking that experimental poems instill in order to better
enable their transformative effects in readers and to bring poetry
pedagogy into the twenty-first century.
