Believing in Today: Poems

Most of the poems in Frank Meyskens's new collection are recent writings, which he calls "reflections of an aging scholar.” However, some of these poems date back to Dr. Meyskens's early medical career; they were discovered and "rescued” from old papers he kept from the time of his medical oncology fellowship. He was surprised to find that many of the issues he was struggling with back then were still concerns of his more recent poems. All of Meyskens poems are the work of a sensitive and compassionate pen as they deal with such human matters as love, relationship (both joyful and sorrowful), nobility of spirit, aging, medicine, and mortality.
