The Boneheap in the Lions Den - Maya J Sorini Book
The poems in Maya J. Sorinis The Boneheap in the Lions Den take us inside the intense and often gruesome world of a hospital trauma unit, a milieu both surreal and (often) deadly real. Sorini never looks away from the hard stuff-in fact, the hard stuff is where she starts-but her gorgeous, precise lines and rhythms make this book unputdownable, despite the human instinct to look away. I finished this book grateful and changed. -Lynn Melnick
P>Review The poems in Maya J. Sorinis The Boneheap in the Lions Den take us inside the intense and often gruesome world of a hospital trauma unit, a milieu both surreal and (often) deadly real. Sorini never looks away from the hard stuff-in fact, the hard stuff is where she starts-but her gorgeous, precise lines and rhythms make this book unputdownable, despite the human instinct to look away. I finished this book grateful and changed. -Lynn Melnick, author of Refusenik and Landscape with Sex and ViolenceMaya Sorinis verse travels to the frontier of life and death, staring down the sublime, probing the capacity of language. As a witness grappling with the grave responsibilities of the clinician, her poems are beautiful-alternatingly lyrical and blunt-challenging the reader to walk beside her. -Danielle Spencer, PhD, Director, Narrative Medicine Program at Columbia UniversityThe Boneheap in the Lions Den takes the reader to that intersection where life meets death, pain meets relief, and hope meets fear. Only a few of us live there and we do what we do so that you will hopefully be able to live as you do. Welcome to our world. -Thomas M.
