Neurotic Poets
"These pages present stories about and works by several widely admired
poets who courted emotional disaster throughout their lives. Sometimes
their struggle was transformed into brilliant creations, sometimes
the pain was simply too overwhelming, and they succumbed to it. The
tales of their lives demonstrate that often tormenting relationship
between pain and creativity."
