520    In Comfort Measures Only, Rafael Campo bears witness to 
       the unspeakable beauty bound up with human suffering. 
       Gathered from his over twenty-year career as a poet-
       physician, these eighty-nine poems--thirty-one of which 
       have never been previously published in a collection--pull
       back the curtain in the ER, laying bare our pain and 
       joining us all in spellbinding moments of pathos. The poet,
       who is also truly a healer, revives language itself--its 
       sounds channeled through our hearts and lungs, its rhythms
       amplified through the stethoscope--to make meaning of our 
       bewilderment when our bodies so eloquently and yet 
       wordlessly fail us. Campo's transcendent poems, in all 
       their modernity amidst the bleep of heart monitors and the
       wail of ambulance sirens, remind us of what ancients 
       understood: the poetry sustains us, and whether we live or
       die, through what we can imagine and create in our shared 
       voices we may yet achieve immortality--back cover.
