Autorenporträt
Rope Made of Bandages is Deborah Bayer's first poetry collection. She has spent twenty-eight years caring for HIV patients in the Atlantic City area. Her poems have been widely published in journals and anthologies, and she is working on a memoir about her medical career. Teachers and mentors include Stephen Dunn, Kathleen Graber, Renee Ashley, Cynthia Arrieu-King, and Peter Murphy. She is working on a Certificate of Professional Achievement in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University. Narrative Medicine applies an approach of openness and discovery to artwork, literature, and human relationships. The poems in this book reflect the Narrative Medicine approach: poet as physician, poet as patient, and poet in transition from clinician to retiree. She spent her early years in Brazil and now lives in Galloway Township, NJ with her husband.
