Description of  Taking Care of Time (Wheelbarrow Books)

1611862744 pdf For poet and nurse practitioner Cortney Davis, the truth revealed through poetry is similar to what she has experienced in the heightened and urgent dramas that occur in health carethose suspended moments in which a dying heart might be revived or unbearable suffering relieved. We are vulnerable, her poems say, and we are dependent on one anotheron the ways in which we care or fail to care for one another, in how we love or fail to love. In poems that are sensual, emotionally searing, and yet unfailingly tender, Davis shines a caregivers light on the most intimate details of the human body and the spirit withinhow the flesh might betray, how it endures, and how ultimately it triumphs.
