The Book of Neuropoetry

The Book of Neuropoetry offers a way to understand the nervous system through feeling, not just analysis. These poems are crafted to evoke the lived experience of neurobiological states—like fear, safety, learning, and memory—providing a direct, embodied sense of what these processes are like from the inside.Rooted in the principles of neuroaesthetics, the poems stand as works of art—meant to be felt as much as read. Select pieces include brief clinical postscripts that explain the neuroscience behind the imagery, offering clarity without reducing the emotional depth.This book is a portal into the inner landscape of the nervous system—in horses, in humans, and in ourselves....Praise for The Book of Neuropoetry:“A feast for the senses. The poetry lands in your body, the poems about horses land in your heart. The clinical postscript after each poem satisfies the cerebral part of us that needs to know the why. A thoroughly enjoyable book to be experienced again and again.”— Warwick Schiller, founder of Attuned Horsemanship, host of The Journey On Podcast, author of The Principles of Training“Lyrical, insightful, and full of fascinating glimpses into neurophysiology. Dr. Peters’s language is both sophisticated and engaging, making each poem a pleasure to savor and contemplate. A remarkable and original work.”— Jan Mashman, M.D., Neurologist Read more
