Product Description

“Inspiration, ultimately, is what this visceral book is about.”—Bay Windows

“Live Through This answers the age-old question tortured, complex artists wrestle with: ‘Why don’t you write about it?’ These writers do. They take centre stage and take up the space they’ve learned they deserve. Women’s and cultural studies students, take note. ”—Now Toronto

“As a whole, the collection posits a hopeful message: that while the quirks and sensitivities of a creative mind often seem predisposed to depression, they are also the exact qualities that provide a special set of tools with which to find a way through the darkest moments.”—Bust Magazine

"Captivating, concise, and humbling, Live Through This is easy to put down between pieces and become just as immersed upon picking it up again."—Feminist Review

“With more esteemed names than can be listed…this book will gather no dust on your bookshelf.”—Curve Magazine

A book that goes just a step furter on the topic is "Touched by Fire," by Kay Redfield Jamison. It explores the connection between bipolar disorder and creativity through the posthumous dignosis of famous writers, Lord Byron, Edgar Allen Poe, Lincoln, and on. This one, however. promises to be an easier read and less clinical. Thanks for posting.
