Cancer Courts My Mother

Published Copy

Blurb

Death ends a life but memories hang on.

"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.

Haiku summary:
