Pathologist and Writer

You'll usually find Jena Martin behind a microscope or behind her computer. Sometimes both at the same time.

 

She is a writer of poems, fiction and essays, and a pathologist in private practice in Minnesota. Her writing reflects a pathologist's perspective, albeit an unconventional one - somewhere between the grotesque and plain spoken.  Her essays discuss disease, the parallels between art and medicine, and the realities of health care, among other topics. You may have never seen the laboratory she describes, but parts of you may have already visited this side of medicine.
