In this episode we look at the psychological research into higher rates of suicide among those in creative professions, especially poets, and why that might be. We look at the "Sylvia Plath effect," Janusian thinking, and the problematic romanticization of suicide among writers. We also celebrate and share the poetry of some poets who killed themselves, including Hart Crane, Lew Welch, Sylvia Plath, Elise Cowen, Richard Brautigan.

The outro music for this episode is Songs for Sylvia Plath Volume 1 by Jeff Pagano
