Gathered from Rafael Campo's over twenty year career as a poet-physician, these eighty-eight poems-thirty of which have never been previously published in a collection-pull back the curtain in the ER, laying bare our pain and joining us all in spellbinding moments of pathos.
In this new collection of poetry, the acclaimed gay Latino physician author Rafael Campo continues his nuanced examination of the primal relationship between language, empathy, and healing.
"Campo's gift is being able to describe the evolution of his manhood... fearlessly and with breathtaking honesty. He is truly a doctor of the soul."-Abraham Verghese
Presented by the winner of the National Poetry Series 1993 Open Competition, this is a book of poetry. It travels inwardly to the intimate spaces of the imagination where sexuality and gender collide and where life crosses into death. It proposes an alternative means of healing.
Presents a work from one of America's most acclaimed younger poets. This book explores the epic themes of author's Cuban heritage and America's newness, his work as a doctor caring for AIDS patients and his identity as a gay man.
