This book was written during a very difficult recovery from pancreatic cancer. I had a nine-and-a-half-hour surgery to remove ten cancerous tumors from my pancreas and duodenum. My entire way of life had changed because of the removal of part of my stomach, pancreas, and intestines. My patience and faith was tested. During this recovery, God gave me poetry and was faithful during this difficult journey.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Every person who goes through the emotional and physical upheaval of cancer has a story. Most, however, do not write it down. In this remarkable collection of poems, Judith Bynum has shared a bit of her soul. In the midst of her pain and suffering of cancer, she expresses hanging questions, lingering doubts, and uncertain futureswhat most people cannot easily verbalize. When she felt her worst, the verses came rumbling and tumbling out of her in the wee hours of the morning, calming the pain in the process. The poems were her ladder out of the hole. In times when she felt her faith and hope slipping, the poetry helped her look up, and there was God, always near. The power of the poems is that they were written in the midst of the pain, not afterward, looking back. Judiths ability to express herself will hopefully help a cancer victim who is struggling to find the right words. That in itself is powerful. Sharing her weaknesses and vulnerabilities is what makes these poems real. Often she offers a humorous view of the trials of cancer and the changes it wreaks on the body and spirit. There is no resignation or acquiescence in the words, both of which are seen often among those who are struggling; instead, there is acceptance and surrender. In the midst of her questions and pains, her faith shines through. This powerful book will inspire readers to remember that God is always near.

When Diana Ballinger was diagnosed with breast cancer, she had no idea what lay ahead. The surgery, crippling side-effects of chemo and radiation, and the emotions that threatened to boil over pushed her to write for her life. This mother and wife feared she couldn't fight cancer and fulfill her family and work responsibilities. She dealt with the disfigurement, loss of employment and the travails of insurance by writing poetry. Ballinger knew she was more than her breast cancer. She wanted her daughter to have a normal life while she underwent treatment and she was determined to make that happen. What she didn't expect, is how much her daughter would help her. "Fighting My Way Through Breast Cancer With Poetry" takes the reader step by step through her journey. It is her first book. Ballinger lives in California with her husband, Dick and her 16 yr. old daughter, Ashley, and celebrated her 1 yr. anniversary as a survivor in Feb. 2009.

Book Description
Please Come Off-Book queers the theatrical canon we all grew up with. Kantor critiques the treatment of queer figures and imagines a braver and bolder future that allows queer voices the agency over their own stories. Drawing upon elements of the Aristotelian dramatic structure and the Hero's Journey, Please Come Off-Book is both a love letter to and a scathing critique of American culture and the lenses we choose to see ourselves through.
