Kore : on sickness, the sick, and the search for the soul of medicine
\"There is a grand tradition of physicians who are also great writers and philosophers. From Copernicus and Paracelsus, to Chekov, Osler and Frankl. And most recently Sherwin Nuland and Oliver Sacks have gained broad readerships and made huge contributions to the way we think and the way we live our lives. Andrzej Szczeklik is entirely worthy to join their company. When his first book, Catharsis, was published in English, critics from Seamus Heaney to Czeslaw Milosz stood to applaud. Now he has followed with an ever deeper and more accomplished book.It has become unfortunately rare for a scientist or doctor to find his grounding in a broad understanding of literature and the humanities. But in Kore, the author insists that only with a curiosity thoroughly at home in both worlds can one expect to discover what we should mean about sickness and about the soul. No tedious academic, Szczeklik writes with the grace of a poet and the ease of a fine storyteller. Anecdotes drawn from a personal immersion in art, music, and literature are woven with reports on experimental medicine and daily clinical experience. From DNA and the re-creation of the Spanish Flu virus, to contemporary research in genetics, cancer, neurology, and the AIDS virus, from \"Symptoms and Shadows,\" to \"Dying and Death,\" to \"Enchantment of Love,\" every chapter of this book is alive and engaging. The result is a life-affirming work of science, philosophy, art, and spirituality\"--Provided by publisher.

\I tried to save as many of them...\
The Winter 2014-15 issue of Ploughshares. Ploughshares is an award-winning journal of new writing. Two out of each year’s three issues are guest-edited by prominent writers who explore different personal visions, aesthetics, and literary circles, with the Winter issue staff-edited. This staff-edited issue of Ploughshares features a diverse collection of poems, essays, and stories. The prose ranges from surreal humor — David Cameron’s “Mannequin,” about a man’s relationship with a life-size doll he buys to use the HOV lane — to tragedy in Lisa Gruenberg’s essay on the experiences of her Viennese father and his family during the Holocaust. Sherrie Flick’s Plan B essay looks at the joy and rage of gardening, and Nancy Kang and Silvio Torres-Saillaint write an appreciation of the Dominican-American poet Rhina P. Espaillat. The Winter issue also features poetry by Philip Levine, Sherod Santos, Nalini Jones, Laurie Sewall, and Gary Young; an interview with Zacharis Award winner Roger Reeves; and the winners of the annual Emerging Writer’s Contest.

Problems and Solutions in the Golden English Language
What shall I do?\" I imagine the teacher will get the class to read out each problem and then invite the students to offer solutions, but he does most of the talking himself, demonstrating his extraordinary command of English, and delivering moral advice. Next to a problem about being ashamed of your mother when she gives the beggars leftovers instead of sharing the family meal with them, the teacher writes \"SIN.\" There's also a framed certificate, confirming that the teacher is a graduate of a more august language school in another city. No worries, my man, that particular problem is unlikely to arise, I'm thinking, but I say, \"In such a sad instance I would just have to find someone else? I wonder if he's trying to get me to betray a loose Western lack of morality, or merely indulging his sexual obsession.
