Celebrate National Poetry Day with Multilingual Neuropoetry!
Check out 'Multilingual Neuropoetry' as today is National Poetry Day!
As today is National Poetry Day, I am happy to announce that the fully revised content of my book 'Multilingual Neuropoetry' is now available on Amazon, Barnes& Nobles etc, and is also now available at lulu.com at a discount, which expires by the end of this week. The book has many new highlights that you can enjoy! So why not grab a warm cup of tea and have neuropoetry entertain your mind and heart on this special day?
So what's new? The full version of 'Multilingual Neuropoetry' now features a chapter on neuroscience and a chapter on poetry. While the neuroscience chapter gives you the neuroscience basics and also helps you familiarise yourself with the essential anatomy of the brain, the poetry chapter tells you how you can form different types of poems with examples to illustrate each poem type. However, reading these two chapters is not essential to understand the neuropoems in the book, but it's worth skimming through this content to have some background info if you like to have it whilst reading the book.
What's more, the book now includes 40 neuropoems, each accompanied by two pages of extensive notes that explain to you the story underlying each poem, thereby helping you understand a new aspect of neuroscience that you didn't know about before while showing you how it relates to you. By writing in the notes section about the ideas that inspired me to pen a certain neuropoem, I aim to inspire others to become creative by expressing themselves using poetry. So, why don't you have a go and find out for yourself how you can link poetry and neuroscience yourself today on this special day?
The book also has got a more detailed list of references, glossary and index to provide you with as much information as you need if you are interested in knowing more about a topic or if you would like to read for yourself the articles that inspired a neuropoem. Although it took me quite some time to revise the content, I had great fun rediscovering the content of my book and seeing it through the eyes of editors and reviewers, who helped me make my book more reader-friendly. I therefore would like to give my thanks to each and everyone of you who got involved in the process of refining the book content with your valuable comments and feedback. Check out the video below on 'Multilingual Neuropoetry' for more, which is part 1 of an interview I did earlier this year to promote the idea of neuropoetry during 'Brain Awareness Week'!
Now that my book is finished, I have got say that my neuropoetry journey was quite a ride: From penning my first few neuropoems about 4 years ago to writing my last few neuropoems about 4 months ago, each neuropoem was a revelation. I hope you enjoy reading the end-product as much as I had the joy in creating it! I wish you a Happy National Poetry Day!
