Lifelines

Lifelines is an annual literary journal published by the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. The journal has featured work by Guggenheim fellows, winners of the William Carlos Williams Poetry Competition, doctors, patients, students and faculty of the Geisel School of Medicine and Dartmouth College, as well as from new authors and artists. Fiction from the journal has been included in The Best American Short Stories series. In 2013, a short story featured by the journal was performed as a one-act play at The Players' Ring Theater in Portsmouth, NH. History Lifelines was founded in 2002 by Sai Li (MED’06) and established with the publication of the first issue in Fall 2004. The journal is published annually. Li envisioned the journal as a canvas for literature and art that would "enhance the atmosphere of the health-care community by instilling in its readers a respect for the enduring human spirit and a profound hope for better understanding and dialogue between doctors and patients."
