The Poetry of Healing: A Doctor's Education in Empathy, Identity and Desire Book

Rafael Campo is acclaimed as an important contemporary poet on the basis of his two books of poetry The Other Man Was Me and What the Body Told. In The Poetry of Healing Campo uses his gift for language to explicate and delineate the connections between being a doctor and a poet, a writer and a healer, a gay man and an educator. Campo's topic is always the body and he understands its fragility and resistance, its power and its grace. Campo's prose is precise and poetic; his insights are revelations. The Poetry of Healing is a work of literary grace and compassion--a memoir that illuminates the world with new light and urgency.Read More

  • Product Description

    The healing powers of speech, of touch, of empathy, and the erotic, of love itself--these are some of the themes of Rafael Campo's deeply humanistic work, as he writes not just of his attempts to heal but also of how how patients have healed him, and of how often doctors may forget to include caring among their medicines for curing.
