9780978994686: The Cancer Poetry Project: Poems by Cancer Patients and Those Who Love Them

Synopsis

A single poem heart-rending, fearful, raging, beautiful, grotesque, even hilarious lets us know we're not alone in dealing with cancer. This was the idea that launched The Cancer Poetry Project and drew more than 1,200 submissions from published poets, first-time poets and everyone in between. The award-winning result is a national anthology of 140 poems, plus the story and people behind each. Hailed by critics and readers alike, The Cancer Poetry Project offers not lofty verse, but accessible, extraordinary poetry. From the hopeful Farewell to Hair (Terri Hanson) to the poignant Slow Dancing at the Med-Inn (F. Richard Thomas) to the laugh-out-loud Empathetic Ode (Dorothy Stone), there is a poem for everyone in this powerful collection. These are the words we long to say when someone we love is diagnosed. Cancer survivors find solace in its pages. And it is frequently used by cancer support groups. Truly, The Cancer Poetry Project is for anyone affected by cancer.

From the Inside Flap

"The touching poems in this wonderful collection allow a peek into the lives of individuals dealing with cancer and those who cherish and care for them." F.J. Rick Montz, MD, KM, John Hopkins Medicine "To say this 250-page book is moving would be a trivialization. . . . The range of perspectives and insights is breathtaking." Budgeteer News "Readers will recognize themselves, find validation for their innermost feelings, and derive comfort from knowing that they are not alone on the road they are traveling." Geri Giebel Chavis, The National Association for Poetry Therapy "In a world where vast forests have been turned to wood pulp to publish variations on psychic Chicken Soup, [Miller's] goal isn't to find poems that are relentlessly upbeat but simply honest." Minneapolis Star Tribune This collection is so poignant, so honest, so cellular, I could barely read more than one poem at a time without pausing for my heart to heal. NAPRA ReView Nowhere have I found a more precious collection of poetry by men and women whose lives have been touched by cancer. The Cancer Poetry Project gives voice to the extraordinary creativity borne out of the experience of cancer. Read through its pages, and you ll discover themes of sorrow, anger, resiliency, hope and love. Every stage of the cancer journey is expressed and described in vivid and unforgettable language. You cannot fail but to be inspired. These poems will touch your heart. --Sharon Bray, Ed.D. , Author of When Words Heal: Writing Through Cancer and A Healing Journey: Writing Together Through Breast Cancer
