Underdays : poems
\"We encounter many voices in life: from friends and family, from media, from co-workers, from other artists. In a highly connected global world, where people and entities are electronically enmeshed, we filter these voices constantly to get to what we determine to be the truth. Taking inspiration from pop culture, politics, art, and social media, Martin Ott mines daily existence as the inspiration and driving force behind Underdays. Underdays is a dialogue of opposing forces: life/death, love/war, the personal/the political. Ott combines global concerns with personal ones, in conversation between poems or within them, to find meaning in his search for what drives us to love and hate each other. Within many of the poems, a second voice, expressed in italic, hints at an opposing force \"under\" the surface, or multiple voices in conversation with his older and younger selves--his Underdays--to chart a path forward. What results is a poetic heteroglossia expressing the richness of a complex world. \"In Martin Ott's new book of poems, Underdays, there's nature, children, desire, war, and Los Angeles, but everything is shrouded with the speaker's experiences as an interrogator in the military--an institution that leaves nothing untouched, even Ott's haunting and dark poetry. But more importantly, Ott's poetry is sonically beautiful and written with such a skilled hand--a hand that was meant to write the poetry of a gifted and haunted soul.\" --Victoria Chang, author of The Boss \"-- Provided by publisher.

Navigating and Communicating about Serious Illness and End of Life
Key Clinical PointsNavigating and Communicating about Serious Illness and End of LifePartnering with patients as they navigate serious illness requires effectively communicating prognostic information while responding to the emotions generated by the conversation.Clinicians should expect, and have the skill, to engage in a continuum of conversations that allow patients to integrate prognostic information cognitively and emotionally.Patients oscillate between expressions of intense hopefulness and more realistic aspirations; this a normal and expected part of the process.Facilitating patient exploration of their hopes and worries allows them to grieve, understand their priorities, and build coping skills for living with a serious illness.As patients integrate prognostic information, clinicians should discuss what is most important to the patient given the likely illness trajectory and incorporate these goals and values into a recommendation about medical care, including care at the end of life.

Other voices, other lives : a Grace Cavalieri collection
\"Other Voices, Other Lives is a selection of poems, plays, and interviews drawn from over forty years of work by one of America's most beloved and influential women of letters. Grace Cavalieri writes of women's lives, loves, and work in a multitude of voices, alternately sassy, rebellious, seductive, grieving, and wise. Selections from her plays show her to be as insightful about men as she is about women, bringing both historical and contemporary characters into vivid life. The book also includes excerpts from three interviews in Cavalieri's legendary public radio series, The Poet & the Poem. Her discussions with three poets, Robert Pinsky, Lucille Clifton, and Josephine Jacobsen, offer profound insights into the writing life, and show Cavalieri to be a master of the incisive interview\"-- Provided by publisher.

Poems in the manner of
\"Poems in the Manner Of is an illuminating journey through centuries of writers who continue to influence new work today, including that of respected poet and series editor of The Best American Poetry David Lehman. \"Very few writers can actually shape how you see the world. David Lehman is such a writer,\" says Robert Olen Butler. Now the Best American Poetry series editor and New School writing professor channels, translates, and imagines a collection of \"poems in the manner of\" Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Shakespeare, W.B. Yeats, Rilke, William Carlos Williams, and more. Lehman has been writing \"poems in the manner of\" for years, in homage to the poems and people that have left an impression, experimenting with styles and voices that have lingered in his mind. Finally, he has gathered these pieces, creating a striking book of poems that channels poets from Walt Whitman to Sylvia Plath and also calls upon jazz standards, Freudian questionnaires, and astrological profiles for inspiration. Intelligent and sparkling, this is a great gift for poetry fans and a useful resource for creative writers. These are poems of wit and humor but also deep emotion and clear intelligence, informed by Lehman's genuine and knowledgeable love of poetry and literature. From Catullus and Lady Murasaki to Wordsworth, Neruda, Virginia Woolf, W.H. Auden, and Charles Bukowski, Poems in the Manner Of shows how much life there is in poets of the past. And like Edward Hirsch's How to Read a Poem and Robert Pinsky's Singing School, this book gives you more than poetry. Whether you're reading for pure enjoyment or examining how a poet can use references and influences in their own work, Poems in the Manner Of is a treasure trove of literary pleasures and food for thought\"-- Provided by publisher.
