Summary/Abstract: Says the good doctor: ―The bad news, dear Zoe, is that your newly-born son can be anything, but a poet. A poet needs his hypomania (another name for the intensive creative episode) and, I chance to know that much from a highly competent source, the poetic process is out of the question in the absence of such trances, the more the better for the poet qua poet but, unfortunately so, the more they come the worse for the poetʼs mental health.
