title: The poetry of handedness.
abstract: A series of poems focused on themes of left-handedness in particular, and handedness in general, are presented in order to bring them to the attention of the wider community of laterality researchers. The symbolic content of the poems is discussed, along with a brief speculation about the right hemispheric basis of poetry and the elevation of left-handedness among creative writers.
