A documentation of the personal fun and sorrows of the author who suffers from Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, one symptom of which is "hypergraphia," or a compulsion to write. This is compounded by the joys of Bipolar Disorder. The author is a university English teacher who draws on his knowledge of poetry and other arts to write sometimes seriously, sometimes lightly, about the bizarre world of his brain.
