Item description from seller

The shift ends. Some things don't clock out.Whispers Behind the Frontline Collection brings together five books of poetry by Brian Edward McDermott, RN, exploring the people beneath the uniforms of nursing, law enforcement, firefighting, psychiatric nursing, and emergency medical services.Across 166 poems and reflective pieces, the collection moves through hospital corridors, police cruisers, firehouses, locked psychiatric units, ambulance cabs, and the homes waiting beyond them. A report is handed over. A radio opens. An empty chair stays empty. Someone sits in the driveway a little longer before going inside.Each of the five books enters a different part of frontline life:Whispers Behind Torn Masks follows nurses through the demands of care, difficult shifts, exhaustion, compassion, and the small moments that help them return.Whispers Behind Tarnished Badges explores the lives of police officers through calls, partners, loss, moral injury, family relationships, and the distance between a public role and a private person.Whispers Behind Scorched Shields enters the firehouse, where training, danger, dark humor, shared meals, grief, and loyalty become part of the same working life.Whispers Behind Locked Doors gives voice to psychiatric nursing and behavioral health care, staying close to staff, patients, and the difficult human encounters on both sides of the door.Whispers Behind Fractured Minutes follows EMTs and paramedics through dispatch tones, roadside scenes, handoffs, waiting rooms, and the calls that remain after the ambulance has been restocked.These poems make room for burnout, grief, traumatic stress, responsibility, tenderness, and the stubborn wish to keep helping. They also recognize the spouses, children, coworkers, patients, and civilians whose lives touch the work. The voices and situations are fictionalized and composite, grounded in the emotional realities of care and public service.Written for frontline professionals, first responders, healthcare workers, their families, and readers of contemporary poetry, this collection offers an honest place to recognize what a shift can ask of a person-and what that person carries home.This anthology edition includes all five collections in one volume, with five color section-opening illustrations and blood-red interior accents.For those who do the work. For those who wait for them to come home. For anyone willing to listen. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 417.…
