Articulations: The Body and Illness in Poetry
by Jon Mukand
Category: Poetry

Poet and physician Mukand has added more than 100 new poems to his earlier Sutured Words to create this new volume to help patients, their families and friends, and all health care professions embrace the complexity of healing, illness, and death. Gathered here is an array of contemporary poets who have written wisely and well about the body's tribulations during illness, including Brendan Galvin, Anne Sexton, Donald Justice, and others both recognized and obscure.
