The Poet’s Cancer
Journeys From Sorrow To Joy
Written for cancer patients, caregivers and loved ones, The Poet’s Cancer is a powerful anthology of poetry. Like the wefts and warps of a well woven cloth, these poems link the painful and emotional experiences of suffering, uncertainty and anxiety with real, unidealized expectations for knowledge, hope, and joy.
The collection examines larger issues of meaning and purpose, frequently viewed through theological and metaphorical perspectives, rather than concentrating only on grief or suffering. The Poet’s Cancer explores the genuine potential of finding meaning and purpose among the hardship, suffering and uncertainty of a cancer journey through poetry reflections that range from sadness to the goodness of God.
