An ophthalmologist and graduate of Cornell and Harvard Universities, Neal Hall, MD became an internationally award-winning poet, composing poetry and performing readings worldwide.
The urgency of Hall’s poetic cries lie within the cries of Martin Luther King’s:
“Now is the time to make real the promises of freedom and democracy”
A voice for the voiceless, Hall’s poetry resonates beyond the insanity of injustice, inequalities, and inhumanity. His words inhale the air of opportunities for possibilities, and possibilities for opportunities; stirring, challenging the hearts of perpetrators and silent bystanders to remember we’re humanity with the capacity for unconditional love – still.
India’s revered Vasanth Kannabiran remarked:
“This is poetry that scalds you into waking up to the possibility that you are perhaps one of those silent spectators. All in all, he is a poet. And unquestionably one of the most significant voices of the century.”
Dr. Neal's work has been published in Across Latitude & Language by Delhi Poetry Slam, a global anthology of poets celebrating diverse voices from around the world.
