The Preventorium - A Memoir

Susan Annah Currie, Cynthia A....

Opened on February 17, 1929, the Mississippi State Preventorium operated continuously until 1976. The Mississippi Preventorium, like similar hospitals throughout the country, was an institution for sickly, anemic, and underweight children. It was established on the grounds of the Mississippi State Tuberculosis Sanitorium in the early years of the twentieth century when tuberculosis was a dreaded disease worldwide. The TB Sanitorium hospital housed those with tuberculosis, offering refuge for patients of all ages afflicted with the pernicious and contagious disease. Although located on the same medical campus, the preventorium was a separate medical institution for children; no children with TB were admitted in the sixty-year run of the hospital. The name preventorium meant a place of preventing disease as there was a fear of sickly children contracting TB. The Mississippi Preventorium was one of the last, if not the very last, of these special hospitals for children.

Now closed, the preventorium housed over three thousand children, including author Susan Annah Currie. In this intimate memoir, Currie details her fifteen-month stay at the preventorium. From her arrival in May 1959 at six years old, Currie vividly explores the unique and isolating world that she and children across the country experienced. Her exacting routine, dictated by the nurses and doctors who now acted as her parents, erased the distinction between patients and created both a sense of community among the children and a deep sense of loneliness. From walking silently single file through the cold, narrow halls of the hospital to nurses recording every detail of their bathroom habits to extremely limited visitation from family, Currie's time at the preventorium changed her and those around her, leaving an indelible mark even after their return home.

While many of the records from the preventorium have been lost, Currie's memoir opens to readers a lost history largely forgotten. Told in evocative prose, The Preventorium explores Currie's personal trials, both in the hospital and in the echoes of her experiences into adulthood.

Grandfather's Robin

Gillian Bickley

Grandfather's Robin offers poems about People, Fellow Creatures, Society, Ekphrasis, Scenes and Moods, Survival, and Short Poems. They were written over several years, in response to people seen, read about, or known, and in response to creatures seen, read about, or known. Other poems respond to group and social behaviour, and reflect responses to works of art. Some poems are prompted by the natural world, urban and village life, and thoughts about the survival of all beings. The short poems offer instants both serious and humorous.
“So many reasons to enjoy Gillian Bickley’s luminous poetry – humour, depth and wisdom. ... Lovely and evocative, Bickley’s powers of observation and precise, selective description lend many of these poems the power of fine portraiture, a sepia photograph, where we see into the eyes, where we discover essence.”
— Jack Mayer, poet (Poems from the Wilderness)
“In this work, Gillian Bickley affords us a glimpse into her perspective. She invites us to reflect on the rich tapestry of life and our shared human experience. Why should you read this collection? Because there is no greater privilege than intimacy.”
—Mary-Jane Newton poet (Of Symbols Misused, Unlocking)
“... poems as moments of tranquility in which we can encounter lives unrolling in times that ... are anything but. To make a record such as this is a good resolution indeed, and I am pleased that Gillian has chosen for the cover a moment of tranquility I painted. As Mrs. Dorothy Collins might have said, reflecting, as these poems do, the quietness of a life-long practice, ‘Very well!’”
—Steven Schroeder, Chicago

Thanatology - The Study of Death

Mike Crawford

Thanatology, the study of death and the processes surrounding it, has deep historical roots. While the formal discipline emerged in the 20th century, human fascination with death dates back to ancient times. Early civilizations developed complex rituals, beliefs, and philosophies surrounding death, shaping the way societies understood and coped with mortality. Over time, thanatology evolved from religious and philosophical inquiries to a multidisciplinary field incorporating medical, psychological, and sociological perspectives.
In ancient societies, death was often viewed through a spiritual or mythological lens. Egyptian, Greek, and Hindu traditions conceptualized the afterlife in elaborate ways, influencing burial practices and rituals. The Egyptians, for instance, believed in the preservation of the body for the soul’s journey in the afterlife, leading to the practice of mummification. Similarly, Greek philosophy—particularly the works of Plato—explored the soul’s immortality and the nature of existence beyond death. These early interpretations laid the groundwork for later philosophical and religious discussions on mortality.
The Middle Ages saw the dominance of religious perspectives on death, with Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism offering moral and theological frameworks for understanding mortality. Death was often seen as a transition rather than an end, shaping attitudes toward dying and burial practices. The Black Death in the 14th century significantly influenced perceptions of death, leading to a greater emphasis on the fragility of life and the afterlife. Art, literature, and religious texts from this period reflect a deep engagement with the themes of death and salvation.
