The article makes an attempt to expand the theoretical understanding of graphomania. The traditional approach defines it on the basis of two main criteria: the number of low-quality texts and self-perception of the author as a genius. These characteristics are insufficient for an accurate and profound analysis of the phenomenon. The article analyses the poetic texts of V. Bokov (1914—2009) and proposes an extended list of criteria concomitant with graphomania and also formulates the main receptive requirement that determines the perception of a “bad” text as graphomanic. The article associates graphomania with the category of stupidity, which is considered in a phenomenological way.
