Original art by Marianne Boruch, Second Discipline student of Grace O'Brien, artist and teacher of life drawing at Purdue University.
"I wanted to share the exciting interdisciplinary nature of the fellowship I received and bring together two groups deeply committed either to poetry or medicine, these students fully equal in grit and passion, imagination and good spirit. In the usual scheme of things, they might never meet on this campus so cut, by necessity, into its rich and self-sufficient fiefdoms."
-Marianne Boruch
