Moments of profound change, of visionary transport, lift the weight of political, historical, sociological detail. Saltmarsh's personal experience, as a mother, as a woman in the world, drives everything. But as you keep reading, it becomes clear rather quickly that these facts and found language are largely meant to concentrate the lyrical language that, strung across the breadth of the book, acts as its spine. The facts and found language that make up these poems are fascinating by themselves, and there are plenty. Many poems from Hannah Baker Saltmarsh's stunning first book, Hysterical Water, are documentary. She revisits selective silence and selective speech in everyday crises of feelings, engages meaningful "anticommunication" through odd gestures and symbols, and indulges in nonsensical dream-speak, among other tactics, to carve a feminist poetics of madness out of the masculinist discourse that has located in the woman the hysteric. Drawing on and reshaping an intriguing array of source materials, Saltmarsh borrows from the language of uncontrollable emotion, excess, cure, remedy, and cult-like obsession to give shape not only to the maternal body but also to a hysterical textual one. Saltmarsh reclaims the word hysteria by arguing that women poets might, in art as in life, celebrate incongruous emotional experiences. The poems in this collection question the way maternal thinking, sexuality, affect, and creativity have been dismissed as hysterical. Hannah Baker Saltmarsh troubles the historic pseudodiagnostic term hysteria as both a constraining mode used to contain and silence women and as a mode that oddly freed women to behave outside the bounds of social norms. Rather what “hysteria” is actually synonymous with, within the context of this song, is “spiritual enlightenment”.Hysterical Water is a collection of fierce, funny, feminist poems, prose poems, and essays with poems woven through them, all connected by threads associated with female "hysteria" and motherhood.

So with that understanding in mind, we can say that the titular temperament is not based on the singer being madly in love or acting wild.

And they also insinuate that some kind of belief system is part of ultimately reaching “hysteria”.

Such is likely made lyrically evident for instance when the band references “a magical mysteria” or “a miracle” in the chorus. Or stated most-simplistically, it presents “hysteria” as being a good thing.īut one of the main co-writers of the tune, Phil Collen, went on to explain that this track is actually “about finding spiritual enlightenment”. However, this song uses the term more euphemistically as in it being akin to, as mentioned earlier, a heightened state of exhilaration. Hysteria, as in when a person loses control of their emotions, is generally perceived as being an undesirable state. Another way this track has been interpreted, due to its sound, is as one which is actually espousing hysteria.
