I am interested in exploring ASMR as part of a wider investigation into questions of reader-attention and reader-response within the context of the study of literary texts and their effects.

I am particularly interested in the implications of ASMR as offering a methodology for arriving at both a richer understanding of, and a deeper engagement with various art forms, and especially poetic genres.

Of related interest I am currently at work on a book exploring the deconstructionist project of postmodernism as in part leading to a poetic revolution, not only in terms of genre, topos and form, but also in language, as a medium of playfulness and enchantment as in the work of philosopher Jacques Derrida.

I would welcome and appreciate any reflections on these subjects by like-minded souls, as part of my further aim to discover whether, as Nietzsche anticipated, philosophy in the future will be, and can only be, embedded in poetry: the power of the mind and its articulate energies in thrall to what Van Morrison calls 'the inarticulate speech of the heart.' - Dr Homer Rieth
