Florence Nightingale's Lost Log

About Florence Nightingale's Lost Log

"What strange mercy I sew with dull pins," says Florence Nightingale in Bernadette McComish''s fascinating new chapbook. In spare, deadly accurate lines--a nurse''s work in Crimean winter is "closing eyes/frozen open"--McComish will show you the antipodes of the human condition: our capacity for suffering, our ability to love in the face of horror, and the silence at the heart of our lives. Florence Nightingale''s Lost Log is a brilliant achievement." -Dennis Nurkse Florence Nightingale''s Lost log is an imagined affair between history''s most famous nurse and a soldier during the Crimean War. Nightingale unapologetically gave up romantic relationships to be in service of others. In these lost pages she reveals a longing and passion for connection, if only in her mind.
