Like his predecessor William Carlos Williams, who was also a physician, Campo plumbs the depths of our capacity for empathy. Campo writes stunning, candid poems from outside the academy, poems that arise with equal beauty from a bleak Boston tenement or a moonlit Spanish plaza, poems that remain unafraid to explore and to celebrate his identity as a doctor and Cuban American gay man. Yet no matter what their unexpected and inspired sources, Campo&rsquo;s poems insistently remind us of the necessity of poetry itself in our increasingly fractured society; his writing brings us together—just as did the incantations of humankind&rsquo;s earliest healers—into the warm circle of community and connectedness. In this heart-wrenching, haunting, and ultimately humane work, Rafael Campo has painted as if in blood and breath a gorgeously complex world, in which every one of us can be found. <BR> 883300 1 2002 Landscape with Human Figure total:8|4:1|3:6|2:1| 8 24 15 0 3 0 false false Sat Aug 29 10:24:39 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 10:24:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 03 21:53:09 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 21:53:09 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Apr 09 05:37:15 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 05:37:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 06 18:22:36 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 18:22:36 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Apr 07 12:15:49 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 17:35:28 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 12:15:49 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Mar 26 08:39:47 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 08:39:47 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jan 27 18:00:29 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 18:00:29 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Dec 11 07:41:50 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 07:41:52 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jul 24 23:29:23 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 23:29:23 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu May 29 19:57:40 -0700 2008 Thu May 29 19:57:46 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue May 06 12:29:03 -0700 2008 Tue May 06 12:29:03 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Apr 21 07:13:50 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 21 07:14:47 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jan 05 14:18:42 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 05 14:18:52 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Wed May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Sun Dec 23 20:16:44 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 23 20:17:10 -0800 2007 2 0 false false Fri Jul 27 14:31:56 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 27 14:31:56 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=898113
