The VPR Poem of the Week is April Ossmann’s “The Mechanical Home Care Bed,” which appears in the Spring/Summer 2012 issue (Volume XIII, Number 2) of Valparaiso Poetry Review.
April Ossmann is the author of Anxious Music (Four Way Books, 2007), and has published poetry in
journals and anthologies including Harvard Review, Colorado Review,
and From the Fishouse; and her awards
include a Prairie Schooner Readers'
Choice Award. Formerly the executive director of Alice James Books (2000—2008), she owns a consulting business offering manuscript editing and
publishing advice to poets. She is among the inaugural faculty members for the
new, low-residency MFA in Creative Writing Program at Sierra Nevada College at
Lake Tahoe, and teaches private tutorials
and poetry workshops using a method she developed to teach poets to revise
their work objectively. She has also taught at the University of Maine—Farmington and Lebanon College, and lives in Post Mills, VT.
Tuesday of each week One Poet’s Notes highlights an excellent work by a poet selected from the issues of Valparaiso Poetry Review,
except when other posts with news or updates preempt the usual
appearance of this item, with the recommendation that readers revisit
it.

North america has a complicated structure that supports the planning, funding and delivery of house health care solutions across North america. There is no central body of government that manages house health care, and in 12 of 13 provinces and areas, house health care solutions fall under the legislation of the Ministries of Health.
