DESCRIPTION:
This collection of poems by doctor and acclaimed poet, Glenn Colquhoun, is based on his experiences in medical practice, where doctors are often described - or accused of - 'playing God' but where outward confidence hides a constant battle with uncertainty.
Often funny, sometimes serious, always compassionate, the poems explore a range of medical experience that doctors, and anyone who has been in their care, will immediately recognize. Glenn has the ability to find the language that expresses the things we did not even know we were feeling - our helplessness in the face of illness, and our need for hope.
