    <div class="html-content">The Graduate School at UMBC congratulates our Associate Dean, Dr. Robert Deluty on the publication of his 48th book! The book, "Worthy of Consideration," is a collection of short poems. In addition to being our Associate Dean, Dr. Deluty is a member of the faculty in the Department of Psychology. Dr. Deluty is a beloved member of the graduate community; he connects regularly with graduate students through the "Poetry and Sushi" readings sponsored by UMBC's Graduate Students Association, and other programs. Some of these programs include his participation as the featured speaker at annual PROMISE seminars  such as  the "Understanding Feelings of Stress" coffee hour held each December, and the "Life/Work Balance" lunch held each August. <div><br></div><div><br></div><div><u>A review of <em>Worthy of Consideration</em>:</u></div><div><br></div><div><div>“Robert Deluty's poetry encourages us to re-examine our ordinary waking moments, to see <span>them as precious--indeed, as profoundly ‘worthy of consideration.’  He magnifies seemingly </span><span>mundane sounds, sights, tastes, and feelings, allowing us to breathe anew.  With mere fragments </span></div><div>of lines, he gently prods us to change for the better by not taking our lives, and those of others, </div><div>for granted.”</div><div><br></div><div>Joseph L.

    <div class="html-content"><div>PROMISE: Maryland's AGEP and the Graduate Student Development Unit at UMBC congratulate our Associate Dean, Dr. Robert Deluty on the publication of his 46th book. Dr. Deluty, also Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology, leads the annual graduate student seminars on work/life balance, and addressing graduate students' feelings of stress. Deluty has as one of his research interests, "the creative processes and products of poetry and psychotherapy." </div><div>____________</div><div><br></div><div>The post below also appears on UMBC's Insights website: <a href="https://umbcinsights.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/robert-deluty-graduate-school-publishes-his-46th-book/">https://umbcinsights.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/robert-deluty-graduate-school-publishes-his-46th-book/</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><p>Robert Deluty, associate dean of the Graduate School, has published a new volume of poetry, “Human Recordings.” In his review, Ronald Pies writes: “The title of Robert Deluty’s wonderful new collection was inspired by the late rock band musician, Layne Staley, who struggled with depression and drug addiction throughout his adult life. But, like Staley’s music, Deluty’s moving poems are highly-condensed recordings of ‘being human,’ in all its tragic and comic tonalities. From the ‘taxidermist’s son/ wooing the depressed daughter/ of the mortician’ to the ‘Arby’s manager/ fuming that his sons opened/ a vegan bistro,’ Deluty regales us with the sweet, sad music of life, in tonalities that Layne Staley would have appreciated. This is a collection to be savored.”</p><p>“Human Recordings,” as well as all of Deluty’s other books, may be purchased at the UMBC Bookstore.</p></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
