 Wild Onions is an annual publication
funded by The Doctors Kienle Center for Humanistic Medicine, Pennsylvania
State University College of Medicine. It is a journal of poetry, prose,
visual art, and music created by members of the
Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Community.
Most entries will pertain to some dimension of
medicine (for example, the experiences, observations, and reflections of
patients, nurses, physicians, medical students, family members, hospital
staff, volunteers, visitors, etc.), but we invite submissions on all
topics. Wild Onions is seeking striking images from the bedside,
clinic, or lab bench, whether or not these were originally intended as
artwork.
Entries must be original work not published previously
and may take any form: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama, cartoons,
graphic novella or short story, photography, drawings, paintings,
lyrics, and musical scores.
The Doctors Kienle Center for Humanistic Medicine
funds the publication and distribution of Wild Onions. The aim of
The Doctors Kienle Center is to advance the appreciation, knowledge, and
practice of humane and humanistic medicine, defined as health care that
is sympathetic, compassionate, and effective. Wild Onions serves
this goal by encouraging literary work that seeks to describe and
understand, with empathy, the experiences of giving and receiving health
care. Instructions for submitting work:
- Please fill out a separate submission form for each
entry. DO NOT include your name on the actual piece you submit.
- Poetry and prose should be typed in Microsoft Word
and supplied on CD or emailed to
wildonions@hmc.psu.edu. Please include all contact information listed

- Original artwork should be dropped off at the
Humanities Department, Room C1743, with submission form. (Submission forms

- Digital images of artwork or photography (saved in

wildonions@hmc.psu.edu. Please
include all contact information in the body of your email.
- Musical submissions require a CD recording and may or
