“A pleasure to read. Poetics of Cognition makes a significant contribution, both in its general thesis about the cognitive effects of experimental poetry and its generous, insightful readings of the individual poets and poems.”—N. Katherine Hayles, author, Unthought: The Power of the Cognitive Nonconscious
“This is a timely, highly intelligent, well-informed study of contemporary poetry that should be widely welcomed. Jessica Lewis Luck is a first-rate close reader of poems; her detailed analyses are deft, incisive, original, and pacey.”—Peter Middleton, author, Expanding Authorship: Transformations in American Poetry since 1950
“Poetics of Cognition is that rare breed of book that can bring together two modes of thought as different as experimental poetics and cognitive science, and supercharge both. No mind other than that of Jessica Lewis Luck could have seen these connections and written them into existence—an absolute bliss.”—Jan Lauwereyns, author, Brain and the Gaze: On the Active Boundaries of Vision
