I am pleased you are enjoying learning McGilchrist’s theory via his primary release. He is an appreciator of Philip Larkin. The interview offers a great analysis of left-brain/right-brain dichotomy as far as it applies to literature as well as activism and/or politics.
Anyhow, my most favorite—or at least the poems I return to as much as possible, or which I frequently quote—are Larkin’s poems.
Read ‘This Be the Verse’. Funny and jaded. McGilchrist does not explore the poem with the interviewer at Poetry Foundation. However, he discusses at least two poems by Larkin. ‘The Trees’ and ‘The Whitsun Weddings’ and another also set in nature.
