In Afterimage, Waldstein writes morose snapshots of the past meshing with present realities; life's winding paths of fractured families, trauma, aging and death. A pathologist examines her life, both personal and professional; and the ceaseless ties that link the two together. Pediatric pathologist Gail Waldstein, M.D. writes poetry, fiction, nonfiction. Her work has appeared in such publications as Nimrod, High Plains Literary Review, New Letters, The MacGuffin, Carve Magazine, Blueline, and Potomac Review. She has won honorable mentions in the Hemingway, H. E. Francis Competition, Thomas Wolfe, The Hackney, New Century Awards, Flyway, and The Faulkner. Her collection of creative nonfiction, To Quit This Calling; firsthand tales of a pediatric pathologist, was published in December 2005. She was a fellow at Colorado Council for the Arts in Literature, 2001; at the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation in 2002; an Associate at Rocky Mountain Women's Institute 1997/98. Her first novel, Mind Riot, was a finalist in Legible, 2003. Binary Vision what is it to see out of only one eye let's say the left the other's an observer, a float in the head nothing registers like reps of exercise what lets you move with such lost awareness of body how do you cross a street, slice onions, backstroke in a pool is it like lips after Novocain this sliced seeing backing the car, sudden blind spot or a hand, numb from sleep - pinched nerve - you know no this is vision you see periphery can look with the right, see the clock, a parent a bisected world
