Download or read book Poets on Prozac written by Richard M. Berlin and published by Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of 16 essays, poets discuss psychiatric treatment and their work. Poets on Prozac shatters the notion that madness fuels creativity by giving voice to contemporary poets who have battled myriad psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse. The sixteen essays collected here address many provocative questions: Does emotional distress inspire great work? Is artistry enhanced or diminished by mental illness? What effect does substance abuse have on esthetic vision? Do psychoactive medications impinge on ingenuity? Can treatment enhance inherent talents, or does relieving emotional pain shut off the creative process? Featuring examples of each contributor’s poetry before, during, and after treatment, this original and thoughtful collection finally puts to rest the idea that a tortured soul is one’s finest muse. Honorable Mention, 2008 PROSE Award for Best Book in Psychology. “A fascinating collection of 16 essays, as insightful as they are compulsively readable. Each is honest and sharply written, covering a range of issues (depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychosis, substance abuse or, in acutely deadpan Andrew Hudgins’s case, “tics, twitches, allergies, tooth-grinding, acid reflux, migraines . . . and shingles”) along with treatment methods, incorporating personal anecdotes and excerpts from poems and journals. . . . Anyone affected by mental illness or intrigued by the question of its role in the arts should find this volume absorbing.” —Publishers Weekly “Berlin has done a marvelous job of showing us how ordinary poets are; the selected poets have shown us that mental illness shares with other experiences a capacity to reveal our humanity.” —Metapsychology

Book Extract "Knitting Patterns Unpicking knitting in the woolly thinking of the woven heart with its crosswise threads of emotion spun like cotton to make a complicated work of intricate thought that is patterned and poked by needles from the planet mind to clarify the pulsating knowledge of this muscle of all muscles, rhythmic with circulating blood with which to take and to give heart, expressing hidden meaning through so much feeling with stitches of plain and also of purl poetry dripping with lifeblood and best known to those who knit and to others who carefully un-knit. The Key In The Lock The locked mind can only be unlocked by a very special key from the world of imagery that needs no commentary or explanation to set thoughts free. The locked mind can only unwind and become gradually unblocked after the key that was thrown away has been retrieved from yesterday when imprisonment held sway. The effortless insertion of the key in the lock will set minds free as it opens them up to poetry. Don't throw the key away.
