In Comfort Measures Only , Rafael Campo bears witness to the unspeakable beauty bound up with human suffering.
The poet, who is also truly a healer, revives language itself--its sounds channeled through our hearts and lun.
Gathered from his over twenty-year career as a poet-physician, these eighty-nine poems--thirty-one of which have never been previously published in a collection--pull back the curtain in the ER, laying bare our pain and joining us all in spellbinding moments of pathos.
