>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.
