Abstract
Founded in 1925 by Mary Breckinridge, the Frontier Nursing Service (FNS) brought much needed professional health care to mountain families of Eastern Kentucky. The FNS nurses, especially trained as midwives, provided public health services and trauma care as needed.
“She Who is Like a Mare”: Poems of Mary Breckinridge and the Frontier Nursing Service
uses historical research and speculative imaginings to create the voices and tell the stories of the nurses and their patients. Forms in this poetic sequence include found poem, song, dramatic monologue and collage.
