Editorial Reviews

Review

"Love of family, of earth and its wonders, of the patients he helps as a doctor, make Vernon Rowe's first book worth our attention. William Carlos Williams would greet a disciple." -- David Ray

From the back cover: "[The poems] speak of life's day by day passage as experienced by a physician of warmth and sensitivity; a gift to us who are physicians and who will be (or are) patients." -- Robert Coles, M.D.
