Re: What Reading Poetry Does to Your Brain
libramoon,
I read it. Relatively easy and quick reading; well, at least the first link was. Haven't read the second one.
I can see why reading poetry we like would enhance memory; but I would have to read it again to see if it enhances memory away from a favorite poem. In school, I could easily memorize history dates and events, but had a heck of a time memorizing the 50 pig muscles we were supposed to memorize. Thanks for posting. Zak
