Art of Diversity Press
Art of Diversity Press® is a vocational editorial project created by Nur Ferrante and Mark Gibson with the aim of publishing works of authors who blend medicine and humanities. In this space we want to support the healing words from many different voices who may contribute to the improvement of patients' lives and society as a whole. Medicine, poetry, art, essay, image and literature come together in a dance that nourishes and heals the soul. We embrace compassion, kindness, empathy, human rights, democratic values, diversity, inclusion, equity and freedom of expression. And we welcome authors who share our same core values to publish with us.
All our works are peered reviewed and treated with utmost respect, value and care.
We share the profits with patients' associations and healthcare institutions who dedicate their energy to help others in their walking through the journey from disease to healing.

Inner Light - Love Walking Barefoot
Nur Ferrante
Sprituality and medicine poetry
If there is alchemy to writing, poetry is the essence. The mystic poet, like an alchemist, conjures places, emotions, revelations, and universes that transcend the immediate and palpable. Nur takes us on a spiritual quest with each turn of a page, where every poem serves as a catalyst.
INNER LIGHT ~ Love Walking Barefoot ~ extends a dual invitation. To engage with the world and embrace its vastness and mercurial nature. To expose ourselves to the whole spectrum of darkness and light, every kind of experience and emotion. Thus, we will be able to string them like precious beads and distil them into wisdom. For everything exists in a relationship of mutual dependence, and there is
no flourishing in isolation. We all carry fractions of light from the same nursery of stars. But also to cherish our uniqueness and let our true colours shine through. To allow the world to see us as we are. To dare to drop masks and to lower our guards. To nurture our resilience in the face of adversity, but also our vulnerability and sensitivity. And while doing so, offer the same gift not only to ourselves but also to others because sensitivity and compassion can only ripen and mature when applied and translated into action. Otherwise, they wither. Every gardener contributes to the blossoming of the garden of life.
Let the barefoot mystic put a spell on you. It promises to be an exquisite adventure.
