Anthology from Orchard Lea Books

Cancer is not a stranger to me. I’ve known it intimately since childhood. Almost every aspect of the cancer journey has been a part of my life from family to friend to caregiver to working with cancer patients to patient. My most recent experience with cancer turned into a not yet, but I know that doesn’t happen for so many others.

I’m proud to have a poem in a new anthology highlighting the many facets of cancer in our lives: Close Up: Poems on Cancer, Grief, Hope, and Healing, out now from Orchard Lea Books.

My poem “Life Line” explores my experience with chemotherapy treatment and the weight of illness on a body.

All proceeds from this anthology go to charities in aid of cancer research and support. Copies are available in paperback from Orchard Lea Books on Amazon.
