Explicit lyrics
As the title indicates, these poems are lyrics - musings on the small decisions required by existence in the modern world. They contain the grand themes of art - -life, love, and mortality - but not where you expect. The smallest and most mundane objects become the catalyst for reevaluating our roles in society and the world. This is not poetry as art. This is life as art, from a country where poetry is the only language.

The emotional power of poetry: neural circuitry, psychophysiology and compositional principles
It is a common experience—and well established experimentally—that music can engage us emotionally in a compelling manner. The mechanisms underlying these experiences are receiving increasing scrutiny. However, the extent to which other domains of aesthetic experience can similarly elicit strong emotions is unknown. Using psychophysiology, neuroimaging and behavioral responses, we show that recited poetry can act as a powerful stimulus for eliciting peak emotional responses, including chills and objectively measurable goosebumps that engage the primary reward circuitry. Importantly, while these responses to poetry are largely analogous to those found for music, their neural underpinnings show important differences, specifically with regard to the crucial role of the nucleus accumbens. We also go beyond replicating previous music-related studies by showing that peak aesthetic pleasure can co-occur with physiological markers of negative affect. Finally, the distribution of chills across the trajectory of poems provides insight into compositional principles of poetry.

Neurocognitive poetics: methods and models for investigating the neuronal and cognitive-affective bases of literature reception
A long tradition of research including classical rhetoric, esthetics and poetics theory, formalism and structuralism, as well as current perspectives in (neuro)cognitive poetics has investigated structural and functional aspects of literature reception. Despite a wealth of literature published in specialized journals like Poetics, however, still little is known about how the brain processes and creates literary and poetic texts. Still, such stimulus material might be suited better than other genres for demonstrating the complexities with which our brain constructs the world in and around us, because it unifies thought and language, music and imagery in a clear, manageable way, most often with play, pleasure, and emotion (Schrott and Jacobs, 2011). In this paper, I discuss methods and models for investigating the neuronal and cognitive-affective bases of literary reading together with pertinent results from studies on poetics, text processing, emotion, or neuroaesthetics, and outline current challenges and future perspectives.

Lyric Address in Dutch Literature, 1250-1800
Lyric Address in Dutch Literature, 1250-1800 provides accessible and comprehensive readings of ten Dutch lyrical poems. The poems' lyrical character becomes manifest by the presence of a lyrical I who - by means of address - relates the text to its social context. The tension between proximity and distance to that social domain is one of the major concerns of the book, as well as the ways in which poetry as an individual form of expression hints at particular tensions in society. The authors draw attention to the rhetorical and literary techniques and figures of speech (like the apostrophe) that enabled poets to address an audience or a world outside the poem. These characteristics are discussed in relation to the poem's historical context, including issues of political or ideological framing, religion and selfrepresentational interests of the poet.
