We are often told that art is therapeutic. The serious converts to the belief may advocate that it is a type of cure. I think Hemingway and his life demonstrated the limitations. A profound work, Richard.

M.J., I'm a strong believer of art as therapy. And a type of cure! Had this not been the case with Hemingway, he probably would've committed suicide much earlier. So tragic that depression is hereditary in their lineage.

A great, fascinating poem, Richard. Hemingway suffered so much trauma (multiple concussions) as well as emotional blows. Each of your lines addresses a possible issue that may have plagued the great writer. What I find interesting, and it is sublime in your verse, is the whole issue of art as therapy.
