THE POETRY OF NURSING
Poems and Commentaries of Leading Nurse-Poets
 
(Kent, Ohio: The Kent State U P, 2006.)
       
So much written about literature and medicine has been from the
perspective of physicians. But in the last few years, nurses have found their voices and are making important contributions to the field of biomedical and nursing humanities. These men and women professionals see different things and experience patients and health care issues in different contexts.
  
 Judy Schaefer has compiled this anthology of [fourteen] contemporary nurse-poets’ work, which is accompanied by their commentaries about their poetry, their work, and their lives. She has gathered contributions from some of the best-known nurse-poets as well as from those who deserve to be. The Poetry of Nursing will add significantly to the ever-growing body of literature that connects medicine, nursing, and the humanities.
