Anyone who has been wounded will resonate deeply with Wound Care. Through mostly short, flash length essays that are part poetry, part narrative, Rich Furman brings the reader on an emotional journey traveling the full array of emotions: sadness, joy, grief, contentment, melancholy, and glee. A book that pushes the edge of literary boundaries, Wound Care explores the nature of human woundedness. Divorce, disability, and the complexities of being a father are all torn apart, unpacked, and reconfigured. Honest, vulnerable, and urgent, this is a collection of essays that are poetic medicine for the aches of existence.
