why do we enjoy poetry From the perspective of neuroscience?

I'm about halfway through The Consciousness Instinct by Michael Gazzaniga.

In Chapter 3 I find this sentence:

In discussing cerebral events as they relate to conscious experiences, Eccles asked the question, "How can some specific spatiotemporal pattern of neuronal activity in the cerebral cortex evoke a particular sensory experience?" That question was left unanswered, and remains so.

Yeah, I thought of you when I read that line.  But it's sort of like asking, "How can a TV transfer an image from one place to another through mere electronics?" The answer is likely to be both very technical and uninteresting compared with what we would really like to know. The book tackles questions I find of more interest.
