Product Description
by Mali a. Mann (Author)
Dr. Mali Mann is one of the most productive members of our Physician Writers Group. It is very gratifying to see her collect her poems - many of which she has presented at our public readings on Campus - into a single volume. The collection highlights the breadth of her poetic skills, dealing with issues as disparate as immigration, grief brought on by family transitions, a patient's decline, or homesickness. She captures the deeply elegiac feel of being a physician and human, while echoing her rich Iranian cultural heritage. This volume celebrates her many years of writing in a beautiful voice. All of us, patients, doctors and lay people will benefit from her emotional wisdom.
