Jason Thompson on Poetry Blindness reflection essay coming soon!

....
........A recent participant in "Conversations", a gathering of scholars in discourse to mark the 80th birthday of James Hillman, Jason Thompson led a lengthy and interesting discussion regarding alexithymia and the inability of "Alex" to understand the intoned emotional resonances in metaphor, the hallmark of poetic language.
..
Jason Thompson

Mythopoetry.com is pleased to publish a reflection essay by Jason on what he terms "poetry blindness." The essay will publish April 1st.

Jason studied Applied Behaviour Analysis at Brookvale College in Sydney, and has worked extensively in rehabilitation facilities with intellectually handicapped and autistic adults. He has been absorbing writings of archetypal psychology for some years and is presently fascinated by the relationship between emotion and imagination and has written a book on the subject entitled Emotionally Dumb: An Introduction to Alexithymia, due for publication late 2008.

He lives with his family in Queensland, Australia, where he operates a small private business.
