Description
"A kaleidoscope of creativity ...unsentimental and sometimes unpredictable."-Journal of the American Medical Association Founded just six years ago, Bellevue Literary Review is already widely recognized as a rare forum for emerging and celebrated writers-among them Julia Alvarez, Raphael Campo, Rick Moody, and Abraham Verghese-on issues of health and healing. Gathered here are poignant and prizewinning stories, essays, and poems, the voices of patients and those who care for them, which form the journal's remarkable dialogue on "humanity and the human experience." Danielle Ofri, MD, author of Incidental Findings and Singular Intimacies, is the editor in chief of Bellevue Literary Review. She lives in New York City.
Backed by the Department of Medicine of the NYU School of Medicine, The Bellevue Literary Review is a unique, prestigious literary magazine that has been lauded by both the literary and medical communities. The Best of the Bellevue Literary Review distills the finest literary moments of the magazine into one volume that will appeal to laypeople and medical professionals alike. Among the many potential constituencies: patient support groups, book clubs, medical and nursing students and other caregivers. Academic Marketing: Medical schools and universities with writing/medical writing programs and curricula in humanistic medicine. Danielle Ofri (editor) is a published author in her own right with an active literary career--she is periodically in the public eye with opinion pieces in the main stream press.
