Sommario/riassunto

In works whose subjects range from the religious to the carnal, the whimsical to the foreboding, Jennifer Maier's debut collection of poems, Dark Alphabet, explores the everyday mysteries of our common experience with humor, lucidity, and an unblinking yet compassionate eye. Whether occasioned by a song overheard on the car radio, a packet of risqué postcards from the 1920's, a conversation with a dead parent, or the behavior of ducks in mating season, each poem sets off on a journey that ranges far from its origins, arriving with the reader in a

Sommario/riassunto

Comorbidities are the co-occurrence of conditions more frequently than would be expected by chance: one may cause the other,  share a common cause or be a sign of a single condition. Our growing understanding of the mechanisms underlying many comorbidities helps understand the natural history of these conditions and improve their management.
