“Poetic Expressions in Nursing: Sharing the Caring”

Promo for “Poetic Expressions in Nursing: Sharing the Caring”

“When it’s all said and done, there’s no profession as diverse, as the art and the science of being a nurse” -Susan J. Farese, MSN, RN

Nursing is an incredibly enriching yet stressful profession and besides being a science, it is truly an art. This second edition of Poetic Expressions in Nursing: Sharing the Caring is dedicated to all nurses – past, present, and future. It is a celebration of nursing and a tribute to nurses, especially during this unexpected, unprecedented pandemic. Covid-19 took its toll on nurses during 2020 and hopefully the impact of stress and burnout will be lessened with time and the arts. Poetry can be a therapeutic and cathartic tool for nurses and other caring professions to deal with the angst, stressors or joys that accompany the profession“.  – Susan J. Farese, MSN, RN

Originally published in 1993,  Poetic Expressions in Nursing: Sharing the Caring now has a 2nd edition and is available online (eBook and paperback, and audiobook).

Poetic Expressions in Nursing: Sharing the Caring (2nd Edition) by Susan J. Farese, MSN, RN, SJF Communications

Here is the description of the book:

This exciting collection of freeform poetry with over 40 poems by Susan J. Farese, MSN, RN, is a sharing of both professional and personal thoughts and feelings. Susan is a strong advocate of the creative use of poetry to express the wonderment, frustration, dedication, and the love of nurses for their profession and their patients.

Included is a tribute poem to nurses by Mohan Chilukuri, MD and a bonus section of several of Susan’s Haiku Poems with her nature photography.

Susan invites you to share the passion and the traditions of nursing, and to explore the heart of the professional practice of nursing…sharing and caring.

Susan J. Farese Interviewed on ‘Love Conquers Alz’ Podcast – Episode #22

Here is the link to an inspiring, poignant and important interview that I was a guest on – the ‘Love Conquers Alz‘ #Podcast Episode #22 ‘On The Power of Art’. The incredibly compassionate, articulate and empathetic hosts were podcasters/filmmakers Susie Singer Carter and Kassi Crews. We recorded it on Mothers Day, 2020 and it was posted online on Wednesday, October 7, 2020.

I was so honored and it was such a pleasure for me to be a guest on the Love Conquers Alz Podcast! I know that my maternal grandmother and soulmate, Ann, (who suffered from early onset Alzheimer’s Disease and passed away in 1971) was listening from up above when I shared my tribute #poem to her, ‘Ann’s Zest Ends’ ! She passed away in 1971.

Besides reading Ann’s’ Zest Ends on Love Conquers Alz, I also read my poem “Caregiver” dedicated to all persons caring for family members or friends with dementia and other disabilities or diseases. Caregiving can be truly stressful, and caregivers need to take care of themselves so they can care for others.

Veteran Author Tommy Anderson Announces Upcoming Events for Military Thriller ‘Haboob Wind’

Courtesy Photo, Tommy Anderson

Veteran Tommy Anderson of Norco, California is the author of the military thriller Haboob Wind which has been optioned with Global Edge Pictures, currently in pre-production. Anderson is currently on a book discussion/signing tour in Southern California and is available for print, media interviews and book appearances (discussions/readings/signings) through SJF Communications.

ABOUT HABOOB WIND

It’s 2021, 20 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America and celebrations to the heroes and survivors are suddenly disrupted by a long-planned terrorist attack within the U.S. An Electronic Pulse Weapon (EPW) missile attack along with a ground terrorist assault is launched at a Southern California military installation — supported by thousands of sleeper cell members, who camouflaged themselves into the fabric of American society as patriots working in trusted positions in the government, law enforcement, FBI and CIA.

The invasion, called a haboob wind (a violent Arabic dust storm), is orchestrated by a radical jihad army formed after the U.S. pulled out of Iraq in 2011. A vintage strike force, led by veteran military officers, is called on to defeat the terrorist group. In an epic battle of good versus evil, Anderson confidently showcases the resourcefulness and patriotism of our veterans to protect our life, liberty, and freedom against all odds of modern warfare.

BIO – TOMMY ANDERSON

Anderson, a native of Madison, Wisconsin, is a retired veteran (active duty and reserves) with 23 years of experience in several military organizations including the U.S. Army, Army National Guard and Air National Guard. After his military retirement he spent 25 years in public service as a police deputy and dispatcher, firefighter and medic. Tommy has a MA in Public Administration, BS in Fire Engineering and AD in Fire Science. Anderson serves on the board of directors for US4Warriors and recently was named Chief Operating Officer of its offshoot, Veteran’s Publishing, Inc. He is also a life member of the American Legion, Veteran of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, 32nd Infantry Division Association, International Association of Firefighters Alumni Association, and U.S. Air Force and U.S. Air National Guard Fire Chief’s Association and an award winning photographer and artist.
