NURSE | Rosa Singer
Rosa Singer is a poet, writer of creative non-fiction and the recipient of a double-lung transplant. Her writing explores braving the body, medical narratives, interdependence and the natural world. Passionate about the arts in health, she teaches expressive writing for patients and caregivers through the Lung Transplant Foundation. She also speaks at the University of Washington School of Medicine, on the topic of delivering and receiving serious news. Over a decade in the field of international development, working on girls’ sexual and reproductive health, showed her the importance of health as a human right and how stories remind us of our shared humanity. Today she writes and breathes next to a 200-year-old cedar tree in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
