Sunday, June 10th at 2pm - Discussion & Signing with Cortney Davis -Taking Care of Time

 

For poet and nurse practitioner Cortney Davis, the truth revealed through poetry is similar to what she has experienced in the heightened and urgent dramas that occur in health care--those suspended moments in which a dying heart might be revived or unbearable suffering relieved.
