Every one of us has had some kind of experience with health care or the medical profession. Often, those circumstances are part of life's greater picture and include many of the greatest challenges — physically and mentally — that we'll ever face.

Some of us are willing to share the experiences and how they've shaped us. That applies to the contributors in the new medical poetry journal being unveiled today called “Grey Matter.”

Rosemarie Dombrowski is the creative mind behind the project, and Bryan Hall is one of the poets whose work appears in the journal. 

The Show spoke with both of them about the project.
