Afterglow: Poems by Martin C. Rosner

From a lifetime of service — both to his country in uniform, and to his community as physician — Martin C. Rosner reflects on the passage of time, as well as the lessons drawn from observing the world around us. Filled with rich, vibrant images, and a deep understanding of life, his latest collection of poems shares both the eyes of experience, and the wonder of an ever-curious mind. Whether drawn from observing the sunsets from his home on Cape Cod, or recalling his childhood in New York City, his insights into the human soul bring a richness and grace to sooth our longing for peace and solace in a troubled world. Martin C. Rosner is a board-certified specialist in Internal Medicine and Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, the American College of Angiology and the Royal Society of Health. He has had five books of poetry published previously and poems in many newspapers, magazines, poetry journals and anthologies, including seventeen poems in The New York Times, and also The Cape Codder, The Hartford Courant and The Stars and Stripes. Dr. Rosner has won the prize for the best love lyric from Western Poetry Magazine. He is a member of the Academy of American Poets and is listed in Poets and Writers. Dr. Rosner lives in Paramus, New Jesey with his wife of 50 years. He has three children and numerous grandchildren. The poet's favorite respite from medical practice for the past four decades years has been his house on Cape Cod Bay from where much of his poetry takes inspiration.
