Book Synopsis Hypergraphia and Other Failed Attempts at Paradise by : Jennifer Metsker
Book excerpt: A collection of poems that delve into the experience of living with bipolar disorder. With Hypergraphia and Other Failed Attempts at Paradise, Jennifer Metsker reaches for an understanding of the ecstasy of madness, utilizing both lyric and prose forms that mimic the sublime state of mania through their engagement with language. Ordinary life becomes strange as these poems question what happens when the mind overthrows the body. At times playful and humorous, at times dark, above all these poems aim to approach mental illness from a personal and compassionate perspective.
