"The rising number of ADHD diagnoses, particularly among adults, is not only confirmed by medical studies and mainstream reporting but also the borne out across social media solidarity among people who'd been privately coping with persistent, often inexpressible challenges. Many of contributors to this edited volume can attest to how a later-in-life diagnosis radically demystified the patterns, impulses, and impasses that had impacted their lives and their writing.

"The rising number of ADHD diagnoses, particularly among adults, is not only confirmed by medical studies and mainstream reporting but also the borne out across social media solidarity among people who'd been privately coping with persistent, often inexpressible challenges. Many of contributors to this edited volume can attest to how a later-in-life diagnosis radically demystified the patterns, impulses, and impasses that had impacted their lives and their writing. The essays collected in Chaos, Creativity, Completion reflect the ways in which these varied individuals-poets, novelists, memoirists, filmmakers, and others-have come to understand and embrace the relationship between their ADHD and their creative practices. The resulting pieces vary in form and tone, directness and indirectness, humor and seriousness. Some are analytical, some are reflective, and some are delightfully weird. Several may seem unfocused at first but soon coalesce into cohesive wholes; others adopt experimental formal structures that, for lack of a better word, just seem to work for the author. These differences and idiosyncrasies are precisely what brings these authors together: just as the experience of ADHD varies from person to person, so do the ways in which those experiences can be expressed. Chaos, Creativity, Completion is a kaleidoscopic, adventurous series of takes on what writing looks like today, no matter who you are or what you have"-- Provided by publisher.
