Dear Poetry Editor,
I am a retired school psychologist living in Wayland, Massachusetts. My poetry appears in anthologies and has been published in journals that include the Yale Journal for Humanities in Medicine, Avocet, Loch Raven Review, Boston Literary Magazine, Naugatuck River Review, The Worcester Review, Pudding Magazine, Off the Coast, Skylight 47 (Irish) and Small Portions.
My chapbook "Bits and Pieces Set Aside," will be published by Finishing Line Press in February 2017.
Sincerely,
Judy Hoyer
About the Journal
Ars Medica is one of Canada’s first health humanities journals. Launched in 2004, we transitioned in 2014 to a web-only format. Ars Medica provides an online venue for dialogue, meaning-making, and the representation of experiences of the body, health, wellness, and encounters within the medical system. Content includes narratives from patients and health care workers, including fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and visual art. We also include sections on writing by and about children, international health, and other voices routinely silenced in the healthcare system.
