Dianne Silvestri was associate professor of dermatology at the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine until her retirement. She is the author of the chapbook Necessary Sentiments, and her poems have appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Barrow Street Journal, Main Street Rag, and Naugatuck River Review, among others. She is cofounder and leader of the Morse Poetry Group in Massachusetts.
“Silvestri’s fine lyric poems are written with the clear vision of the physician who herself becomes the patient with a serious illness (‘beached / my white coat surrendered’). She travels with honesty and courage her ‘long essential / diversion’ from the everyday of her life. There is the night phone call with bad news (‘I endure for the verdict at dawn’), followed by the complicated journey through pain, treatments, fears, losses, consolations, leading to a ‘first-ditch list’ of hopes. An inspiring, merciful, beautifully-written collection.” * Ann Taylor, author of 'Sortings' * ""Dianne Silvestri, MD, a poet as well as a retired dermatologist, has provided readers with the emotionally moving and artistically creative story of her cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship... Silvestri has accomplished a medical humanities miracle in integrating personal candor, vivid exposition of medical procedures, and distinctive poetic techniques."" * Journal of Poetry Therapy *
