Common Illness

By Aaron McGuffin

Dr. Aaron McGuffin's experience as a physician brings a fresh and unique voice to contemporary poetry. His ability to translate the often mysterious jargon of medicine into ordinary situations renders his work insightful and provocative. Readers are able to draw back the curtain and see not only what goes on in the patient's room, but in the doctor's mind and psyche as he cares for those around him. Drawing from eclectic and many times personal sources of poetic inspiration, McGuffin explores how life appears from his medical perspective in a surprisingly down-to-earth, and many times humorous way.
