Journals of a Visitor

Journals of a Visitor shares the intimate coming-of-age story of a young, queer woman trying to find her place in medicine. Inspired by true events at Harvard Medical School and its teaching hospitals, Fae Kayarian's autobiographical collection of poetry serves as a dose of narrative medicine and an homage to the body, heart, and soul. Using medicine as a lens for story-telling, Journals of a Visitor honors the experiences that breathe meaning into our lives and celebrates the therapeutic power of writing one’s own narrative.
