Secret Wounds: Poems


Add your own review!

Overview

Poetry. Selected for the John Ciardi Prize for Poetry. The poems in psychiatrist Richard M. Berlin's second collection, SECRET WOUNDS, explore the emotional terrain of doctor-patient relationships and how doctors' vulnerabilities and psychological scars become the secret wounds they must bear. (Although) Berlin's subject matter is inherently interesting...medicine is not the excuse for these poems; it is simply their occasion...Berlin's poems are sure, spare, and always open to the task of revealing the mysteries he is privy to.--Gary Young
