Poetic Medicine is a book based on fiction in the life of a young African American female, who has went through different transitions of life, that really have just begun. From tears of pain, passion, joy and humor it's a book that all can relate to. It has been said that everyone has an outlet, a venting period that makes them keep moving forward in life; a solution, an antidote, a medicine. "Whatever makes your heart content is your voice of feelings; this is your poetic medicine."

This book explores previously unexamined overlaps between the poetic imagination and the medical mind. It shows how appreciation of poetry can help us to engage with medicine in more intense ways based on ‘de-familiarising’ old habits and bringing poetic forms of ‘close reading’ to the clinic. Bleakley and Neilson carry out an extensive critical examination of the well-established practices of narrative medicine to show that non-narrative, lyrical poetry does different kind of work, previously unexamined, such as place eclipsing time. They articulate a groundbreaking ‘lyrical medicine’ that promotes aesthetic, ethical and political practices as well as noting the often-concealed metaphor cache of biomedicine. Demonstrating that ambiguity is a key resource in both poetry and medicine, the authors anatomise poetic and medical practices as forms of extended and situated cognition, grounded in close readings of singular contexts. They illustrate structural correspondences between poetic diction and clinical thinking, such as use of sound and metaphor. This provocative examination of the meaningful overlap between poetic and clinical work is an essential read for researchers and practitioners interested in extending the reach of medical and health humanities, narrative medicine, medical education and English literature.

Poetry Has the Power to Heal and Comfort during a Pandemic After visiting her birth country of China during the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, poet and entrepreneur, Dawn Li, Ph.D., was inspired to organize a group of poets from around the world to write inspirational poems in response to the tragedy. In Poetic Medicine, poets-young and old-came forward in an international effort to unite humanity in a fight against Covid-19. Hailing from places like Nigeria, Australia, India, the United States, Scotland, and China, these poets expressed their own worries, desires, and dreams in words that we can all relate to. Dawn Li grew up in Southern China, and studied and worked in Wuhan for six years, where the coronavirus hit first. She is the author of Song of a Lotus Leaf, a memoir in poetry, and holds a doctorate in literature from George Washington University. Praise for "Poetic Medicine" Poetic Medicine in the Time of Pandemic offers us a healing tapestry of voices that light our way as we navigate through the maze of this new and foreign world of Covid-19. Hear the poetic songs of fear, isolation, and loss singing, and as we recognize our own voices that perhaps we've held inside, we are joined by a chorus that includes humor and hope. We come to accept the uncertainty of this new planet we all live on together, learning to tend to each new feeling as it arises and find the possibility of growth it offers, no matter where we're planted or what the conditions. Through some of these poems, we learn to sit with ourselves in this current life-pause, noticing the glories around us, the small things we used to take for granted that now give us joy and hope. Poetic Medicine should be read one or two poems at a time, like spoonfuls of bitters, a prescription written by a doctor of heart and spirit, to help us metabolize, heal, and have courage in this new life where we now find ourselves. -Meredith Heller, MA, poet and author of Songlines and Write A Poem, and her new book, Save Your Life, will be published in 2021 This is an insightful book that advances our collective understanding of the psychological impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the world. -Saida Erradi, Ph.D., faculty member, John Hopkins University Poetic Medicine in the Time of Pandemic is a mirror and a healing balm. Many of the poems address the uncertainty and brokenness that reminds us that we are in this together. It is a heartening reminder of the alchemy that poets use to both hold and heal. Seeing the world as the poets see it allows us to borrow their eyes and remember the world is both smaller and bigger during our shared quarantine. These poems give us space for our anger, our fear, our gratitude, our hope and our imagining the path ahead. Dawn Li has truly given us healing medicine in this lovely collection. -Wendi R. Kaplan, Poet Laureate, Alexandria, Virginia (2016-2019) The editor compiles moving poems in the spirit of "Love the life we live, live the life we love." In the face of unexpected disasters, poets compassionately offer comfort from the back of the moon, from the eagle's eyes, from high-rise buildings in Manhattan, or in the eyes of masked faces standing six feet away. Behind shut-down windows, poets still see the sun, the moon, and the stars, feel the spring breeze brush their faces, and hear Italians singing from their balconies. The book broadcasts an affectionate melody, gently tugging on our heartstrings. We are not alone in this crisis, as the whole world is in it together. We recall the beauty of the past and we know how to cherish it-even if it's just an early morning cup of Starbucks coffee. One day, we will be free again, and together our spirits will be renewed! -Mingming Cheung, retired interior designer, painter, Founder and CEO of Chinese Culture and Art League, Washington, DC

In this book of poems and meditations, Paul Kraus brings together the best modern teaching on healing, albeit from a predominantly Christian viewpoint, even though he is a Holocaust survivor of Jewish origin. He tells the amazing story of his journey through cancer to a richer life. He coped with the most devastating diagnoses by opening his life to deep prayer. Each illness was a time of transformation of body and soul, firstly through meditation which brought a healing light to shine in and around him and then through the positive emotions which stilled his worried mind. As a result he continues to grow in faith in the Divine Healer whose power came directly into his being and was also dispensed by the ministry of gifted health professionals. He writes about doctors who can blend scientific skills with the mystery of the human person, about inspiring 'sufferers', about the strength given by family and friends, about the therapy of love, music and laughter - but most specifically he speaks of poetry

The poems contained in this volume are conversations we could easily overlook in our rush to provide care. Through poetry, I explore what it really means to be sick, and what it means to be a provider, or a caregiver. These poems are for people who have ever been unwell, and for those who have never been sick; for people who love poetry, and for those who wonder and doubt; for people who think the healthcare system is fatally flawed, and for those who serve in the system with dedication and love. The book is for learners of the healthcare professions, just as much as it is for teachers and practitioners. These poems are for you...

That medicine becomes professionalized at the very moment that literature becomes "Romantic" is an important coincidence, and James Allard makes the most of it. His book restores the physical body to its proper place in Romantic studies by exploring the status of the human body during the period. With meticulous detail, he documents the way medical discourse consolidates a body susceptible to medical authority that is then represented in the works of Romantic era poets. In doing so, he attends not only to the history of medicine's professionalization but significantly to the rhetoric of legitimation that advances the authority of doctors over the bodies of patients and readers alike. After surveying trends in Romantic-era medicine and analyzing the body's treatment in key texts by Wordsworth and Joanna Baillie, Allard moves quickly to his central subject-the Poet-Physician. This hybrid figure, discovered in the works of the medically trained John Keats, John Thelwall, Thomas Lovell Beddoes, embodies the struggles occasioned by the discrepancies and affinities between medicine and poetry.

"A passerby may marvel And admire my molded form. My every branch and twig and leaf Has learned how to conform". Why are some medical students drawn to creative writing? What issues does this writing address, and what needs, fears and experiences does it give expression to? What can we learn about the future generation of physicians from examining their writing? Until now, no systematic examination of the links between medical education, the students, their poetry and the meanings that can be gleaned from these writings has been published. In this comprehensive, clearly argued book, Shapiro explores contemporary academic thought on the topic and offers new insights on the medical education system. It is a critical appraisal which independently explores the positive and negative aspects of medical culture, student life, socialisation and learning through the unique expressive medium of medical student poetry. It sheds light on issues such as patient relationships that have become obscured over time, and offers fresh insight on fundamental, universal concerns such as mortality, suffering, acceptance and identity. This book provides a practical, comprehensive analysis of medical student poetry and is an invaluable resource for medical educators, those with an interest in the medical humanities, and medical students themselves.
