positive biopsy of biopsy
by richard

Good poem. The language was very plain, but the voice real. Just enough relevant concrete imagery was used to set the scene. Subtle use of language to indicate

the poet’s attempt to dissociate from the experience "you put the body down"

her body and the other patient’s. Anyone who has gone through this does

what the poet describes, search the sterile room for something familiar.

Not a great poem but certainly a very good one.
