    In Robert Fagles’ translation of Vergil, Aeneas,contemplating the Trojan War cries out, “Theworld is a world of tears, and the burdens ofmortality to touch the heart.”Laura Brylawski-Miller intuits  the  lacrimaererum, the tears in things throughout her poetry,and it is not only a result of the classic educationshe received in her native Italy, but aguiding insight that directs her view of the world,the shape of her soul. Like the Buddha ofSokkuram, she is stunned by the suffering shesees in the world and is left with the only possibleresponse, compassion for the human condition.Compassion in her, however, is not naiveté. Thisintuition is perhaps what first led her to medicine,the sensitivity for the pain of others, the need toheal, even when that healing process meansdebriding dead tissue with her poetic scalpel.“First, do no harm,” the Hippocratic oathdemands, but sometimes it requires severemeasures as every surgeon knows.
