A book review of One Breath

The poetry of Catherine Clark-Sayles allows us intimate access into two parts of her life – her daily practice of medicine and her observations as a skilled poet. Dr. Clark-Sayles’s book of poetry begins with her mil-brat childhood, progresses to her time at medical school, continues with her daily acts of practicing medicine, and ends with her and her patients coping with death. Death rounds out the four corners of this excellent first book of poetry.
