Humanities Emergency
Medical school is a wild ride. You're asked to do things you would rather not do. You say things you wish you'd never said. But you also grow. And make mistakes. And learn from your mistakes. Then you grow even more. Somewhere along the way, in the chaos of it all, you transition from being a redundant, observing appendage, to a useful, contributing member of society. You become a doctor. But you can also lose part of yourself. Your empathy. Compassion. Ability to love. In 'Humanity Emergency, ' Dr. Sarah Fraser has published a collection of poetry she wrote as a medical student. The poems speak to the 'emergency' for more humanity in medicine, and in the world more generally. The time is now. The person is you. It is an emergency. Go.

*WINNER OF THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZE 2015* *WINNER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES / PETERS FRASER + DUNLOP YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2015* *SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST FIRST COLLECTION 2015* There is a Chinese proverb that says: ‘It is more profitable to raise geese than daughters.’ But geese, like daughters, know the obligation to return home. In her exquisite first collection, Sarah Howe explores a dual heritage, journeying back to Hong Kong in search of her roots. With extraordinary range and power, the poems build into a meditation on hybridity, intermarriage and love – what meaning we find in the world, in art, and in each other. Crossing the bounds of time, race and language, this is an enthralling exploration of self and place, of migration and inheritance, and introduces an unmistakable new voice in British poetry.
