Críticas
The poems in Jeanne Bryner's SMOKE reveal her to be an angel of mercy not only in her work with patients but also in her ability to create poems that comfort and guide us as we face universal fears: sickness, personal and societal abuse, family tragedy, physical pain and emotional longing. Bryner intertwines striking images and perfect metaphors in poems that use nursing as a lens through which to view the world of healthcare as well as the lives of families, communities, and the art of writing. Because she has witnessed moments only a nurse might, she is able to plunge through the poem's surface event to reach the ineffable. Her poems dig deep, reaching what Emily Dickinson called "the zero at the bone." -- Cortney Davis, author of The Heart's Truth: Essays on the Art of Nursing
