Liane Reif-Lehrer

Poems Unremembered Liane Reif-Lehrer

These poems were written long before Liane began to have memory problems. They were written over a span of 30 or so years when she was a PhD student, a Principal Investigator in basic biomedical research, an administrator and faculty member at Harvard Medical School, an author and consultant on writing grant Proposals. At the same time she found time to be a mother of two children, and an organizer. She organized a Women's Science Network in the Boston area to help other woman who also have felt difficulty in advancing their careers. Many of the poems in this book are dark, but they express the yearning of a better world. Although at this time Liane has Alzheimer's and is not be able to read these poems, I am sure that she would be happy to know that she has reached readers who have similar thoughts. S. S.
