GoLocal to Publish Short Stories by Author & Former RI Health Director Dr. Fine
Thursday, June 07, 2018
Former Director of the RI Department of Health Dr. Michael Fine, who is an author, doctor, and community organizer, joined GoLocal News Editor Kate Nagle on GoLocal LIVE to talk about partnering with GoLocal to publish his writing -- and why he does it.
"The partnership is really exciting -- medicine was a detour, or supposed to be a detour. I thought I would do medicine while I was waiting for my writing to mature," said Fine. "But I kept writing short stories."
"Since leaving the Department of Health, that pace of short stories has increased. I thought it was time to put attention to writing and imagination," said Fine. "I think some of our political problems are problems of the imagination. We have opportunities to think and dream about how we might be better together -- that we don't use enough because we don't have a platform to imagine what everyone else's life is like."
