Abstract: Conventionally singled out of the class of antidepressants, Prozac is further associated in what follows with poetic activity in terms of postmodern female identity. The two women under consideration, Liza Porter and Martha Silano, are lost and adrift in their stressed-out dysfunctional families, not in the least because of their mood disorders, major depression and respectively postpartum psychosis. Psychotherapy turning out to be inefficient for them in the long run, antidepressants or rather a combination of them come into play, and they restore a sense, even if more or less altered, of some poetic identity. In their interviews, they actually admit they are both cases of a definite progress from non-poetry to poetry. We will take either at her word, intent as we are on relating poet restoration to human recuperation.
