As people live longer, we face the challenges that come with
caring for, and living as, an aging population. This collection
focuses on the sad, funny, mundane reality of life in a nursing
home. In her own words, Janice N. Harrington worked her way through
college as a nurses' aide and wrote "The Hands of Strangers"
because she "cannot forget the 'girls' I worked with or the
'residents' under my care. I haven't forgotten what I saw, heard,
felt, or learned."
Janic N. Harrington's debut "Even the Hollow My Body Made is
Gone" earned teh 2007 Kate Tufts Discovery Award, the A. Poulin Jr.
Poetry Prize, and an NEA fellowship for poetry.
