Inhaltsangabe

For every daughter who has watched a disease steal her mother away, one piece at a time, this collection provides a voice for the unspoken.

A daughter becomes her mother's caretaker as cancer — personified as a relentless suitor — courts her toward death, then retreats, then returns. This fictionalized poetry collection moves through remission and relapse, mapping caregiving, grief, and the unfinished business of a difficult mother-daughter bond in twenty-five poems.

"Cancer Courts My Mother" gives voice to the creativity borne out of the experience of late-stage cancer from the perspective of a caregiver and a daughter.

Written with candor, warmth, and grace, these poems explore universal themes of sorrow, resiliency, relationships, anger, hope, and love.

This collection is for anyone who's ever wondered how to go forward in the face of suffering, but doesn't expect an easy answer.

Cancer, a Casanova, is bent on seducing a mother away from her family-- even as a dutiful daughter tries to defeat him.
