Laura Manuelidis is the author of a volume of poetry, “Out of Order.” She is best known as a physician and neuropathologist at Yale University. She earned her B.A. degree from Sarah Lawrence College, where she studied poetry with Muriel Rukeyser, and her M.D. from Yale Medical School. She is a Professor, and head of the section of Neuropathology in the department of Surgery at Yale. She is also on the Faculty of Neurosciences and Virology. Manuelidis is a distinguished scientist, but her knowledge ranges far beyond the limits of science and embraces all of humanist culture. Few contemporary poets can convey the wonder of human existence so close to its terror, and in a voice intimate yet elusive in its authority that edges towards the visionary.
