Submissions for 2014 Edition For <strong>The</strong> <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Touch</strong> 153<br />
Welcome to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Touch</strong> <strong>2013</strong> – the sixth volume <strong>of</strong> our annual anthology<br />
<strong>of</strong> prose, poetry, graphic art and photography contributed by the students, staff,<br />
faculty, alumni and friends <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Colorado</strong> Anschutz Medical Campus.<br />
Nobel Laureate, Heinrich Boll, once remarked that “behind every word a whole world<br />
is hidden that must be imagined.” <strong>The</strong> writers and artists who have contributed to this<br />
publication have <strong>of</strong>fered us myriad and magical worlds to imagine and enjoy, to discover<br />
and appreciate. Moreover, in the process <strong>of</strong> our imagining the hidden worlds behind<br />
these words and images, we are also silently joining with others similarly engaged.<br />
It is the mission <strong>of</strong> the Arts and <strong>Human</strong>ities in Healthcare Program to realize the universal<br />
appeal <strong>of</strong> the arts and humanities and their power to connect student and teacher,<br />
patient and pr<strong>of</strong>essional, citizen and artist, benefactor and institution. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Touch</strong><br />
serves as both a tangible and beautiful means <strong>of</strong> making such connections.<br />
I am especially grateful to Dr. Henry Claman for his unwavering commitment to the<br />
arts and humanities at CU and his incredible generosity to our program. On behalf<br />
<strong>of</strong> the editorial board, I also want to thank and congratulate our <strong>2013</strong> Editor-in-Chief,<br />
Jacque Linton, who graduates from the School <strong>of</strong> Medicine in May. She leaves behind<br />
many friends and colleagues who admire her devotion to literature and who marvel<br />
at her surgical skills. Jacque is our own budding Richard Selzer, the most well-known<br />
writer-surgeon in the United States, and we are looking forward to applauding her<br />
future accomplishments.<br />
