"description": "Pieter Gouvart (June 1981) is a Belgian poet and musician who started writing poems at the age of fifteen at the time of his first romance. He considers himself a romantic poet and musician and his overwhelming feelings during romances inspire him to write poetry and music. He has a tendency towards melancholy and uses his art to mitigate his bitter perception of life.\r\n\r\n\u201cFusion & Defusion\u201d is a collection of poems written by Pieter Gouvart in the year 2016. The poet reflects about four periods during his recovery from depression. He explores his mind through depression, heartbreak, love and his daily ups & downs to regain mental stability. \u201cFusion & Defusion\u201d refers to a method from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which Gouvart uses to write poetry. He fuses with his thoughts and feelings in the heartbreak (\u201cSaudade\u201d) and \u201cLove\u201d parts and takes a distance (Defusion) from them in the \u201cDepression\u201d and his daily ups & downs (\u201cA day in the life\u201d) chapters. \r\n\u201cThe mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven...\u201d John Milton\r\n",
