AbstractHistoryArchive Description

When the author started the website www.bipolarpoetry.com, all sorts of writing flooded in. Most of it was petry, some good, some not. But there also arrived a variety of styles of writing that I couldn't classify. So I created different names: The Manic Rant; Psychotic Prose; Prosetry; and Word Picture are just some.
