Teaching poetry writing to the old and the ill.

When people are separated from the activities and relationships that make life so passionately interesting, they are separated from real accomplishment. A poet's non-therapeutic approach to writing led a group of ill and handicapped nursing home residents, aged 59-93 years, to find new strengths of feeling and ideas. Above all, it gave them the real accomplishment of some beautiful poetry.

The hidden poetry of Solyman Brown, the "poet laureate of dentistry".

One of the most important figures in the development of the dental profession was Solyman Brown, in whose home the leading dentists of his day met and organized the first national dental organization in the world as well as the first dental journal in the world. He was named the first secretary of the organization and served, for two years, as the first editor of the journal. A true Renaissance man, Brown was also a consummate, and widely published, poet, and his epic poem, Dentologia, was hailed by the critics of his day as a literary masterpiece, earning him the sobriquet, "Poet Laureate of Dentistry." Recently Solyman Brown's great-great grandson, cleaning out an attic, discovered a trunk full of material relating to Brown's life - his daughters' memoirs, many of his letters and other of his writings, and many of his unpublished poetical works. This author was fortunate to be able to study all this material, and the poems published herein give a much fuller and rounded picture of this monumental figure in American, and world, dentistry.
