Beskrivning
In this fascinating book, Johanna Emeney examines the global proliferation of new poetry related to illness and medical treatment from the perspective of doctors, patients, and carers in light of the growing popularity of the medical humanities. She provides a close analysis of poetry from New Zealand, the USA, and the UK that deals with sociological and philosophical aspects of sickness, ailment, medical treatment, care, and recuperation.

"Johanna Emeney's The Rise of Autobiographical Medical Poetry will be recognised as a tour-de-force in disability studies, for it combines a sure grasp of poetic discourse with a comprehensive understanding of how the confluence between the two is nourished and enlivened through successive generations of poets, doctors, and patients. If the shamans of old were known to be poet-doctors, then Emeney must be understood as their griot in modern guise. She writes everything with lucidity and deep compassion."—Professor Ato Quayson, University of Toronto, Author of Aesthetic Nervousness: Disability and the Crisis of Representation, and Oxford Street, Accra: City Life and the Itineraries of Transnationalism
