Book excerpt: 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." Like the first volume, "The Cancer Poetry Project 2" drew more than 1,000 submissions from widely published poets, first-time poets and many poets in between. The resulting anthology features the best 140 poems, plus the story and the people behind each. Men, women and children. All walks of life. All types of cancer experiences. Readers will find comfort, understanding and much more in four chapters: Poems by Cancer Patients; Poems by Spouses, Partners, and Lovers; Poems by Family Members; and Poems by Friends and Health Advisors. Reviewers and readers call it powerful medicine.
