Roy Jacobstein, physician and poet
- Detailed Information: In this talk Jacobstein interweaves readings of his poetry with discussion of the chronology and trajectory of each of these two paths (writing, medicine), how they came about, how they mutually affect/enrich the other.
Roy Jacobstein is the author of Ripe, winner of the 2002 Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry, and the Randall Jarrell Prize-winning chapbook, Blue Numbers, Red Life. His poetry has appeared in many literary journals including Parnassus, Prairie Schooner, The Threepenny Review, Witness, and others.
Jacobstein divides his life between the practice of poetry and the practice of medicine and he divides his time between New York City, where he works internationally in women’s reproductive health as Medical Director of EngenderHealth, and Chapel Hill, where he is Adjunct Professor, Department of Maternal and Child Health, University of North Carolina School of Public Health.
