Caduceus 4 Publication Celebrated with Poetry Reading



There will be a poetry reading at the Yale Medical School Sterling Hall
of Medicine  Beaumont Room, 333 Cedar Street in New Haven on December
15th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to celebrate the forth volume of the
poetry anthology Caduceus edited by Tony Fusco. The Poetry collection is
published by Art Place the award winning innovative program sponsored by
the Yale Medical Group which uses art to enhance and elevate the medical
environment for patients, staff and visitors to the Yale Physicians
Building.



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 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 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.
Paola Corso's My Italian Grandmother's Advice When I left Pittsburgh For
New York City 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
