Please, please, please read The Healing Art: A Doctor's Black Bag of Poetry by Rafael Campo. I am devouring it for the second time this weekend, and once again, I am amazed by its tenderness and brilliance.
Also read: The Desire to Heal: A Dcotor's Education in Empathy, Identity, and Poetry (which, by the way, was called The Poetry of Healing: A Doctor's Education in Empathy, Identity, and Desire in the hardback edition - interesting shift in nuance and meaning). And do not forget his poetry, especially Diva.
Sigh. My ridiculous, adolescent crush on this man only gets worse with every read.

I have a book of his poetry called "What the Body Told". Wonderful. I think I have a crush on him too.
