Book Synopsis The Art of Medicine in Metaphor - a Collection of Poems and Narratives by : Brandi Ballard
Book excerpt: Poetry and stories about illness address more than just the symptoms of disease. Narratives and poems are the pathways for people to make sense of and discover meaning in life's difficult events. This anthology connects the world of medicine with patients' experience. The lyrical power of patients' voices and the metaphors they use offer insight, empathy, and compassion into the heart of the medical conversation.
