The book argues that the benefits and insights mindfulness provides are also cultivated by the study of poetry. These benefits include a focus on the present, the ability to see through scripts and habits, a rethinking of subjectivity, and the development of ecological or systems thinking. Bryan Walpert employs close readings of traditional and experimental poetry and draws on scientific studies of the effects of mindfulness or reading literature on the brain. It argues the skills that poetry, like mindfulness, cultivates are useful beyond the page or classroom and ultimately are necessary to engage with such global issues as the environmental crisis."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Poetry $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Poetry $x Therapeutic use. 650 0 $a Mindfulness (Psychology) 830 0 $a Palgrave pivot. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403021244.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD00233E370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
