06.14: Joanna Klink in Conversation with Michele Glazer
2015-05-18 22:04:43| Powells Books Events Calendar
Joanna Klink has won acclaim for poetry of bracing emotional intensity. The poems in her new collection, Excerpts from a Secret Prophecy (Penguin), offer a fine-grained meditation on being alone — on a self fighting its way out of isolation, toward connection with other people and a vanishing world. Klink will be joined in conversation by poet Michele Glazer, author of On Tact, and the Made Up World and It Is Hard to Look at What We Came to Think We'd Come to See.

06.01: The Conversation: A Revolutionary Plan for End-of-Life Care
2015-05-18 20:04:51| Powells Books Events Calendar
There is an unspoken dark side of American medicine — keeping patients alive at any price. Two-thirds of Americans die in health care institutions tethered to machines and tubes at bankrupting costs, even though research shows that most prefer to die at home in comfort, surrounded by loved ones. Harvard Medical School physician Angelo Volandes believes that a life well-lived deserves a good ending. In The Conversation: A Revolutionary Plan for End-of-Life Care (Bloomsbury), Volandes argues for a radical re-envisioning of the patient-doctor relationship and offers ways for patients and their families to talk about this difficult issue to ensure that patients will be at the center and in charge of their medical care.
