Pulp Anthem: Reflected Glory is a nurse's anthem. I refer to it as a Pulp Anthem because I composed it quickly, and because it is meant to be broadly distributed, like the old pulp paperback books of the twentieth century. The poem “Reflected Glory” was written by Margaret Helen Florine, an American nurse, and published in a 1917 collection of her poetry entitled “Songs of a Nurse.” This piece is meant to remind us that the urgent work of nurses has long been in the shadows, but is as vital and important in our current pandemic as it was a century ago.
