In poems that are quirky, specific, and complex - layered with horrors, humor, and redemption - we find images so clear they become mirrors, and we are able to glimpse, for a moment, our own invaluable inexplicable lives. ABOUT THE AUTHOR David Connor is a retired physician living in San Rafael, California, with his wife and two dogs. His interest in poetry began early in life, influenced by his mother and a great aunt, a poet of the 1930's. He did not have a literary education; instead he graduated from Harvard University with a B.A. in Economics and from the University of Minnesota with a B.S. and an M.D. He practiced Nephrology in the San Francisco Bay Area for 30 years and began attending poetry workshops with Diane Frank, Dale Biron, and Prartho Sereno. He still practices medicine in Northern California, as long as the doctors he covers for are near fly fishing rivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 19, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47938257682653,"sku":"9781421886947","price":27.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/KoLg9bQwCx9781421886947.webp?v=1779177225","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-long-and-short-of-it-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
