To attend: "to direct one's mind or energies." Matthew Mumber's vocation as an attending physician, a spiritual seeker, a family man, and an engaged citizen of the world receives the fullness of his mind and energy in The Attending. We meet the narrator's family, mentors, and patients along the way, but most importantly, the soul of the poet-doctor-seeker who asks, "Who am I?" and "How can I serve?" is revealed in these poems.
