Poetic Creativity

Can someone please give me details of what the process of poetic creativity is? With reference to Coleridge.

Reminds me of the Oliver Wendel Holmes excerpt again:

No will of your own with its puny compulsion
Can summon the spirit that quickens the lyre;
It comes, if at all, like the Sibyl's convulsion
And touches the brain with a finger of fire.


I infer you are asking about 'inspiration'. Some say the Muse, should she knock on your door, should be coaxed to stay by the use of two fingers of brandy. Coleridge preferred opium, I believe. Its opposite would be 'writer's block'.

Sounds like a ton of work to me. Try the link below, then come back, with specific questions, hopefully.
