520    The best-selling author of An Unquiet Mind now gives us a 
       groundbreaking life of one of the major American poets of 
       the twentieth century that is at the same time a 
       fascinating study of the relationship between manic-
       depressive (bipolar) illness, creative genius, and 
       character. In his Pulitzer Prize-winning poetry, Robert 
       Lowell (1917-1977) put his manic-depressive illness into 
       the public domain. Now Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison brings her
       expertise to bear on his story, illuminating the 
       relationship between bipolar illness and creativity, and 
       examining how Lowell's illness and the treatment he 
       received came to bear on his work. His New England roots, 
       early breakdowns, marriages to three eminent writers, 
       friendships with other poets, vivid presence as a teacher 
       and writer refusing to give up in the face of mental 
       illness--Jamison gives us Lowell's life through a lens 
       that focuses our understanding of the poet's intense 
       discipline, courage, and commitment to his art. Jamison 
       had unprecedented access to Lowell's medical records, as 
       well as to previously unpublished drafts and fragments of 
       poems, and was the first biographer to speak to his 
       daughter. With this new material and a psychologist's deep
       insight, Jamison delivers a bold, sympathetic account of a
       poet who was--both despite and because of mental illness--
       a passionate, original observer of the human condition"--
