Laurier Lecture: The Pleasure of Metaphor

7:00 - 8:30 pm

Featuring Dr. Sonnet L'Abbé, Laurier Writer in Residence

Aristotle suggested that being able to make metaphors was about having an "eye for resemblances" and that only those gifted with this special ability became poets. Others argue that making metaphor is not only the realm of the poet but is the foundation for all linguistic expression. This combined reading/lecture will interweave a discussion of neuroscientific theories of how metaphor works on the brain with poems and a meditation on the sensual body's inhabitance of language.
