Poetry Blindness: Alexithymia and Metaphor

Jason Thompson
0/5 ( ratings)
Despite the assumption that all people possess an easy understanding of poetic metaphors, approximately one-in-ten people experience extreme difficulty making any sense of them. The difficulty is thought to accompany a condition named 'Alexithymia' - which refers to a lack of emotional and imaginative awareness. Through poetry, Greek mythology and psychological analysis this essay elaborates on the nature of poetry blindness.
