9781032195940: Poetry in the Clinic

Synopsis

This book explores previously unexamined overlaps between the poetic imagination and the medical mind. It shows how appreciation of poetry can help us to engage with medicine in more intense ways based on 'defamiliarising' old habits and bringing poetic forms of 'close reading' to the clinic.
