... over at Bud Bloom Poetry: The Poet in the Egg . As an unapologetic eudaemonist I must demur slightly regarding the notion that "the poet goes from suffering or indignation to writing poetry ..." The poet may do that of course, but I think poems are as likely to be derived from joy as from suffering. (Interesting that Assagioli shoul cite Heine. So much of depth psychology is grounded in German Romanticism.) As readers of this blog will know I am largely unimpressed by the "suffering artist" myth.
