Poet Obsession - John Stone

I am currently crazy about physician-poet John Stone. He is incredible. I will definitely be posting many of his poems soon.

They are pretty modern, which is slightly unusual for me, but I love the use of medical imagery to convey his message and really cut at my heart.

I recently checked out 5 of his poetry books from the AU Library. I've read one so far, and I couldn't put it down, seriously. I'll let you know how the rest go and share some of my favorites as we go along.

*If you happen to see me in person and want to challenge me, ask me to recite the John Stone poem (my favorite John Stone poem) that I am working on and hopefully will have memorized.
