How might poetry engage the imagination
in unique and different ways – and how
would we find out? Come and join the team
from the ReaderBank project, the world’s
most ambitious study into reading and the
imagination, and hear about their research
into what goes on in the mind when we
read. For Contains Strong Language there
will be a special focus on poetry and we’ll
be joined by poet Karen McCarthy-Woolf to
explore what happens in the mind when a
poem is either heard or read.
