PRAISE FOR THE BONEHEAP IN THE LION'S DEN The poems in Maya J. Sorini's The Boneheap in the Lion's Den take us inside the intense and often gruesome world of a hospital trauma unit, a milieu both surreal and (often) deadly real. Sorini never looks away from the hard stuff-in fact, the hard stuff is where she starts-but her gorgeous, precise lines and rhythms make this book unputdownable, despite the human instinct to look away. I finished this book grateful and changed. -Lynn Melnick, author of Refusenik and Landscape with Sex and Violence Maya Sorini's verse travels to the frontier of life and death, staring down the sublime, probing the capacity of language. As a witness grappling with the grave responsibilities of the clinician, her poems are beautiful-alternatingly lyrical and blunt-challenging the reader to walk beside her. -Danielle Spencer, PhD, Director, Narrative Medicine Program at Columbia University
