Triage

Renee Rossi’s first full-length collection, Triage, weaves poems about seeking license to heal others, Detroit’s dog days, dreams’ brushstrokes, and how we become closer while drifting apart: “formations of animal glyphs, the smallest creatures expelling what I want to tell you.”

Renee Rossi’s previous books are Still Life and Third Worlds. She has published poems in the anthology, Body Language, and in the journals Sojourn, How2, Journal of Medical Humanities, TEX!, and Locus Point. Her work was nominated in 2007 and 2008 for a Pushcart Prize and selected for the Best of the New Anthology in 2008. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and lives in Dallas where she works as an otolaryngologist.
