Awakening imagery in another’s mind is an inseparable part of a poet’s work. A “mind’s eye” that cannot see would seem an obstacle the creation of this effect. I intend to write and show you otherwise, to use verse so you can see in the dark. I will be posting a poem every Wednesday. Subscribe for free if you want the weekly email.

Aphantasia vs. Poetry -- What it's like when your Mind's Eye is dark.

People

I’m a poet with a mind’s eye that sees no images, only darkness. Aphantasia: without fantasy. I want to show you how I see in the dark.
