When you’re reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact?
Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight).
“Kind” can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.
Unreliable narrative imagery, where the description reveals more about the narrator’s interpretation of reality than it reveals about the actual setting. (Classic examples would be Poe’s The Telltale Heart or Joyce’s Ulysses.)
I don’t think I’ve come across anything like this, will have a look, thanks
