DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Not only for students and doctors, this volume contains Williams's thirteen "doctor stories," several of his most famous poems on medical matters, and "The Practice" from The Autobiography. These writings, together with Dr. Robert Coles's enthusiastic appraisal of teaching Williams and Dr. William Eric Williams's personal and touching filial account, "My Father, the Doctor," make up an intriguing and timely study of the poet as a physician of rare humanity and self-knowledge. As Coles suggests, Dr. Williams's writing can help many others take a knowing look at the medical profession.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This anthology includes the finest poetry of the American Physicians' Poetry Association. Founded in 1976 by Dr. Richard Lippin, M.D., this dedicated group of physician-poets has striven to "span the seemingly diverse realms of science and art, medicine and literature, mind and body." The annual journal of the APPA serves as a forum and a source of inspiration for physicians and patients alike as it explores the issues of humanity and ethics involved in the healing arts. Clearly visible in these poems are themes and sensibilities common to physician-writers throughout history: a reverence for the human body, a sense of wonder toward the human spirit, and an appreciation for the universality of human emotions. For it is the height and depth of these emotions that a physician directly witnesses and personally experiences every day in his practice. While the intensity of these experiences may harden or soften a doctor's compassion toward his patients, it is the intent of these poems to bring us all closer together in our shared quest for health and well-being.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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.
