Confessions of a Bipolar Poet

Robert Edgar Hardy was many things during his tumultuous life including fatherless boy, a soldier during World War 2, an aerospace engineer, raging alcoholic and an inmate at a hospital for the criminally insane. He was a lover, husband, father and troubled man who suffered from Manic Depression for most of his adult life. "Confessions of a Bipolar Poet" is a fascinating collection of poems by a man who chronicled his deepest feelings during different stages of mental health. He was an anachronistic individual who tried to live a normal suburban life but eventually succumbed to a tortured existence of extreme behavioral problems and self medication.
