Alright, I have lurked this thread long enough. The question posed is"why do we enjoy poetry From the perspective of neuroscience?".
Implicit in the question is an unwarranted assumption.
I don't enjoy poetry at all, mostly I ignore it as irrelevant fluff.
The notion that "we" enjoy poetry as a global truth is utter bollocks. One only has to say the words "iambic pentameter" and I instantly teleport to a different universe.
The claim that poetry has universal appeal is flat out wrong.
