Imagery is a literary device where you create mental images of how something looks or feels through the written word, using figurative language. It’s not just limited to visual description, either; in fact, there are seven different types of imagery which appeal to all of our senses! These are visual (sight), auditory (sound), olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste), tactile (touch), kinesthetic (movement), and organic (internal feelings) imagery. When used well, imagery infuses a narrative with symbolism and engages readers on a deeper, more emotional level. Research published by the Association for Psychological Science and NeuroLeadership Institute shows that when people read vivid descriptions, the same areas of their brains activate as if they were actually experiencing it firsthand.
