UN-ED-IT-ED
Healing Whispers
About the book
un·ed·it·ed is F.A. Khan’s debut poetry collection about the connections between the roles of a physician, their patients, and their personal selves. The poems invite you to delve into the mind of a healer, to see beyond the layers of the persona, and to recognize yourself in one of the many poems.
Each poem is a story, a facet, where the author is sometimes the physician, the patient, the caregiver, or simply an observer. The poems cover a range of thoughts from the experiences of a physician (cataract, burnout, cadaver, coma, prayer, wellness) to those of a patient and caregiver (pain, prayer, soul, tumor, family, identity, wristband, and more).
You will connect with the unedited raw vision these poems evoke in your soul.
You will find yourself questioning the reasoning behind what we see and feel.
In the end, the author hopes you will emerge calm and accepting of the humanity a physician brings to your care.

Book Reviews
F.A Khan’s stunning debut collection of poems, ‘Healing Whispers’, captures the visceral, emotional and spiritual experience of being convalescent. The lines between what is strictly professional and personal blur, allowing the readers to dwell on the myriad ways healing can come to us. In the wider context of the medical profession and within the personal experience of a patient and a physician the anthology talks about moving forward with love, hope and faith during the dark moments of your life. Form and voice unite in the lyrical menagerie created by the author, telling us that ‘Healing Whispers’ are all around, and all we have to do is listen.

Healing Whispers is a collection of such heartwarming poems. Having the background of medical profession, I could relate to it even more and at so many levels. Author has done an excellent job in capturing the core of healing- that healing can come in so many ways, it’s not a solitary journey but a collective effort interwoven with empathy, love and patience. Some of my favorites are cadaver, family, soul, mind, COVID-19, wellness!!!Thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
