Summary
Science has transformed understandings of the mind, supplying physiological explanations for what once seemed transcendental. Nikki Skillman shows how lyric poets-caught between a reductive scientific view and naïve literary metaphors-struggled to articulate a vision of consciousness that was both scientifically informed and poetically truthful.
