the Yale Bookstore Saturday, March 10th at 2 P.m.
There will be a poetry reading at the Yale Bookstore on Broadway March
10th at 2 p.m.
Poets included in the forth volume of the
poetry anthology Caduceus will read their work. The Poetry collection is
published by Art Place the award winning innovative program sponsored by
the Yale Medical Group and is edited by Tony Fusco.
This collection features some poets whose reputations and
accomplishments are extraordinary,
including Maxine Kumin, Poet Laureate of Alabama Susan Walker, Recent
Connecticut Poet Laureate Marilyn Nelson, Vivian Shipley, Jack Bedell
and many others.
Richard Bowering, Jr.'s poem In This Dream, I Turn Around And Find My
Father's Grandfather Alive Again </i>is the first winner of the Southern
Connecticut State University graduate student poetry contest.
Caduceus includes a significant amount of work by poets who work in the
health care areas and who provide a unique and enlightening perspective
to the joys and sorrows of our world. Included in this collection is
work from Yale physicians Frank Bia and Laura Manuelides.
Caduceus is not however, entirely of or about the medical experience,
but about life and common humanity. Shula Chernoff's poems are from her
new book the Stones Bear Witness</i> which is reviewed in this journal
by
editorial assistant Lisa Siedlarz. Jack Bedell speaks of family and
history with his Louisiana charm with poems from Come Rain, Come
Shine</i>.
Paola Corso's My Italian Grandmother's Advice When I left Pittsburgh For
New York City</i> tickles the funny bone.
The stunning cover is the work of nationally acclaimed West Haven
Artist Ellen Hoverkamp.
The books will be available for the reading enjoyment of patients, staff
and faculty in the waiting areas of the Yale Physician's building.
Books will also be available for purchase to defray the cost of
printing and can be purchased at the reading or by contacting: Tony
