>
>Please join us for a celebration and reading in honor of Laura 
>Manuelidis's new collection of poems.
>
>"The author is a distinguished scientist in the Yale medical school, but 
>her knowledge ranges far beyond the limits of science and embraces all of 
>humanist culture. I also know of few contemporary poets who can so convey 
>the wonder of human existence so close to its terror, and in a voice 
>intimate yet elusive in its authority-that edges towards the visionary. 
>The highest intensity, among many intensities, is to be found in her 
>volume Fragmented, a sequence of poems for her late husband. They are 
>among the finest poems of mourning I have ever read. A virtuosity of form 
>and technique matches the intensity of the emotion in a stunning lyrical 
>sequence." Clive Bush, Professor & Poet, King's College, London
>
>"Laura Manuelidis is not someone who writes verses -she is a poet by all 
>the pulsation of her soul. There are some poets who have a subtlety, but 
>don't have a passion; others have a passion but unfortunately at the 
>expense of subtlety have lost all passion. She has a rare quality: her 
>passion is subtle. Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Russian Poet
>
>Laura Manuelidis has published poems in The Nation, forpoetry.com, The 
>Connecticut Review and other journals. She is Professor and Head of 
>Neuropathology at Yale University.
