In Intensive Care: More Poetry and Prose by Nurses, sixty-four nurses, both male and female, from places as diverse as California and Alaska, South America and Europe, tell us in tough, revealing poems and prose what it's like to be on the front lines of health care. Like its companion volume, Between the Heartbeats: Poetry and Prose by Nurses, Intensive Care makes a valuable contribution to the medical humanities canon and to literature as a whole. Book jacket.
