Description

Jeanann Verlee’s second book, Said the Manic to the Muse, takes a deeper, more focused look at the erratic, whimsical, ominous, and sometimes perilous ways manic depression functions. Introduced through the careful prophecy of three archetypes: Medea, Jezebel, and Kali–each a woman largely misrepresented and wholly misunderstood–these poems detail the story of one woman’s struggle to maintain both strength and sanity in the face of abandonment and aging. From dangerous trysts and barroom brawls to Said the Manic to the Muse recounts the year she lost everything, including her mind.
