Download or read book Touched With Fire written by Kay Redfield Jamison and published by Free Press. This book was released on 1996-10-18 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive work on the profound and surprising links between manic-depression and creativity, from the bestselling psychologist of bipolar disorders who wrote An Unquiet Mind. One of the foremost psychologists in America, “Kay Jamison is plainly among the few who have a profound understanding of the relationship that exists between art and madness” (William Styron). The anguished and volatile intensity associated with the artistic temperament was once thought to be a symptom of genius or eccentricity peculiar to artists, writers, and musicians. Her work, based on her study as a clinical psychologist and researcher in mood disorders, reveals that many artists subject to exalted highs and despairing lows were in fact engaged in a struggle with clinically identifiable manic-depressive illness. Jamison presents proof of the biological foundations of this disease and applies what is known about the illness to the lives and works of some of the world's greatest artists including Lord Byron, Vincent Van Gogh, and Virginia Woolf.

What happens when such a label gets attached to your everyday experiences? In order to understand mental health, we need to talk openly about it.

Thirty-three writers, athletes, and artists offer essays, lists, comics, and illustrations that explore their personal experiences with mental illness, how we do and do not talk about mental health, help for better understanding how every person’s brain is wired differently, and what, exactly, might make someone crazy.

Download or read book Anatomy of a Poet written by C. J. Heck and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry can be daunting and hard to understand, but it doesn't have to be. I feel a poet has an obligation to write in a way that everyone can understand. Poems should flow softly through a poet's words, their meanings gently caressing the heart and mind of its reader. If a poem comes from the heart, it will reach other hearts, and this is what I've tried to do with the poetry in "Anatomy of a Poet." CJ Heck "Like a rose with many petals and sharing its sweet aroma, this is how I see and feel about the love of my life, CJ Heck. She is my electric blue-eyed girl. She can be both a little girl, or a strong woman, whenever and wherever the situation calls for it. She is both sensuous and exciting, and soft and affectionate. Tragedy struck her life early with the death of her husband in Vietnam. This experience laid open the very core of her heart and soul and opened the channel to a well of compassion and sensitivity that waited deep within. Her pain was the fertilizer that helped her bloom as a writer. CJ's poetry is not a surface observation, but a soulful interpretation of the events and people that inspired her. She writes both eloquently and simply of things that touch her heart, things she wants to share. She is gifted at painting a picture with words on the heart and imagination of others, thereby communicating not just an image, but a life experience. I feel very honored to have been asked to write this introduction and share my feelings about CJ Heck. She is the water for my soil, the sunlight for my petals and the nurturer of my growth. Sit back, open your heart and enjoy the journey as revealed through her words, images and emotions. You are blessed by this opportunity to know her in words, as I know her in life." Robert S. Cosmar, Author "This is my kind of poetry. Direct, beautifully expressed and without a hint of pretension." Allison Cassidy "CJ is predominately viewed as a writer of works for children, but CJ now carries over her approach to more adult themes. In doing so, she presents a profound world that is deeply sad, incredibly humorous and sometimes very intimate." Joseph Daly "I love learning new words, especially when they are explained with such diaphanous clarity. Whether she talks of love, children, life, or any other subject, CJ's words are always clear and harmonious. She makes us forget that easy to read is hard to write." Marc Mimouni (London, United Kingdom) "CJ Heck is a very talented author. Her words are enlightening and charismatic to people of all ages. It is a privilege and honor to read her prolific pen." Janet Caldwell (Managing Editor, Inner Child Magazine

Download or read book Happiness written by Jack Underwood and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Happiness is the long-anticipated debut collection from the award-winning Jack Underwood. With the sort of smart, persuasive voice associated with Simon Armitage and Michael Donaghy, these poems worry at the world in search of consolation, or else meet life's absurdity and strangeness half-way; whether sitting proudly atop an unexploded bomb, or injecting blood under the skin of a banana, playfulness and imagination are vehicles for confronting 'the fearful and forgotten things I've lied to myself about'. Here are poems which address anxiety about fatherhood, remorse for lost lovers and friends, or mourn for a miscarried sibling. Happiness is a collection preoccupied with the ephemerality of happiness itself, at the ever-present possibility of its departure, and the ways we try to grasp and keep hold of it. 'Every single thought I'm having is about LOVE', here meaning both the pleasure and panic of love, its peculiarity; love as a feeling of risk, love for one's own body, familiar yet estranged, of 'cack-handed LOVE at his console', love like 'pausing to move a snail somewhere safer in the rain'.
Download or read book Just Wanna Die written by James Taris and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of sad and depressing poems. There are even a few gruesome poems thrown in for good measure! The poems span a period of about 2 years - but critical years - at the ages of 17 and 18. These 'blue pages' are filled with the pain and agony of growing up. Very little changes when it comes to growing up. The fight for acceptance by your parents, as you move from childhood into adulthood, mixed with the pressures of study, often make the lives of teenagers, in their late teens, miserable ... sometimes bordering on suicidal. James Taris has always confessed that he wrote poetry for therapeutic reasons. And none of his poems were more therapeutic than his depressing poems. By getting his problems off his chest, James was able to solve them - or at least tolerate them - as he moved on through life. These poems are written in chronological order (newest to oldest), so you can follow James' journey through his dark years. Many readers have written to James thanking him for sharing his depressing poems with them. They have related well to his experiences and found solace in his poems. It is always refreshing to know that others have gone through the same miseries as yourself and yet still wound up leading happy and fulfilling lives. The autobiographical stories that accompany each poem also give an added dimension to these special poems.There is a growing up period that starts from our early teens. That period of adolescence when we develop from children to adults is particularly difficult. It was for me. Luckily, however, I had my poems.Growing up is a challenge for all of us. We all learn to handle it in our own special way. For me, I coped with it by writing poems.Over fifty years ago, I wrote my first song called How Does De Do. Looking at it now, I can see how unbelievably bad it was. Yet back in 1968 when I was just thirteen, it was my greatest treasure. Such is the value we place on our creations.I had never set a goal to become a poet or songwriter. My writing was always for my pleasure and amusement. On many occasions, I also used my writing for self-therapy. During my years of depression from 1972-1973, I found my poems to be extremely therapeutic.Whereas girls find it quite easy to share their feelings with their close friends, guys tend to keep their feelings bottled up. My writing was my outlet. It allowed me to externalise my feelings so I could better understand and cope with them.Fortunately, in 1974 I was introduced to positive thinking and immediately my writing took a sharp turn towards hope and ambition.Over 40 years, from 1968 to 2008, I wrote nearly 200 songs and poems. The LIFE IN RHYME Series is the collection of my most popular works.
