Description: An article by a poet, Dean Blehert, on the possible danger of administering psychotropic drugs to creative people.
Shrink-Rapt Poetry? an essay by Dean Blehert Words & Pictures East Coast, LLC ( Published in issue 55 of THE NEW YORK QUARTERLY, Nov., 1995) The following remarks were partially inspired by a long editorial in issue 39 of New York Quarterly on the possible damage done to creative people (that is, living people) by psychotropic (mind-changing) drugs. It occurred to me that, while psychiatric theories and practices impinge on the entire population, there's a special relationship between psychiatry and twentieth century poetry that renders poets particularly vulnerable: Psychiatry has been the religion of modern poetry, as closely intertwined with its practice as was, say Catholicism with the poetry of Dante.
