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.

In EVERYBODY READS A POEM, Mary Leah Cornish-Henry gracefully chronicles her astonishing story of her fight against cancer facing the many gruesome effects of chemotherapy, and staying caner free two months after surgery, and remaining so 5 years later. Leah’s fight started when she discovered a lump under her arm, and on May 23, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although Leah practiced a fairly healthy lifestyle of diet and exercise, the diagnosis showed a stage three breast cancer. Within the few weeks following the diagnosis, Leah started facing a debilitating fear – Fear of dying! Along Leah’s pathway to healing, she was a patient at a Natural lifestyle center in Euchee Pines Lifestyle center in Alabama. Her health improved at the end of the treatment period, but the cancer was still active in her body. In August of 2007, she had surgery, and then moved on the Immune Recovery Foundation to continue her treatment in conventional and naturopathic medicine. Although Leah’s treatment included only 10% chemotherapy, and 90 natural treatments, she was plagued with immeasurable amount of side effects. The one side effect that taunted her the most was the ugly stain of depression. In the midst of these treatments, Leah remained faithful to her God, and accepted the help of many good friends. Though she could barely shun the depression that led her to antidepressant and a week in the hospital’s psychiatric ward, she did do one thing – WRITE! So for the next 5 years, Mary Leah Cornish-Henry has written over one hundred poems which bring her joy and healing from the terrible disease of cancer. In May of 2012, Ms Henry resigned her job as a public school teacher to devote 100% of her time towards her health. Leah has overcome numerous suicide ideations, and has chosen life instead of death. She has taken the time to share her cancer healing poems with you, in an attempt that you may find – Joy and healing from your pain and loss!

Cancer is a disease with a persona of mystery, often referred to through the use of negative metaphors such as alien, evil, and foreign, while its medical treatment and recovery phases are described with warfare metaphors, and sadly when death is the end result, one is said to have lost their battle with cancer. However, Cameron in this debut collection, draws the reader into the expansive territory of cancer poetry, where attempts are made to construct meaning far beyond the battlefield. The emotional roller coaster of cancer, the messy, at times humorous, at times ugly, aspects of cancer, its treatment, and its people are explored in this wide-ranging collection of poems that weave connections between nature and humanity into the clinical settings and finds quiet hope amidst the fear and suffering. Cameron speaks from her experience as cancer patient, but also from decades working as a health professional. She writes with a profound insight into the complexities of living and dying with serious illness, and of the grieving for those who are left behind. 'Heather Cameron's striking poems are alive to the true mess and unruliness of "the uncontrollable world". In this very assured debut collection there are reckonings and there are epiphanies but there remains an appealing openness to the unresolved, to ambivalence and an acknowledgment of ever-present dereliction. It is in no way easy to write about cancer with such a uniformly unsentimental and clear-eyed vision as this poet achieves here.' - Lucy Dougan

We all know someone. Or maybe that someone happens to be us. This groundbreaking landmark anthology explores the subject of cancer from all different points of view: patient, survivor, caregiver, lover, parent, child, doctor, surgeon, alternative healer, psychologist, compassionate human being, body part, and from the disease itself. The collection includes new and original poetry by established and emerging voices (some of whom are health practitioners): Molly Peacock, A.F. Moritz, Pamela Mordecai, Christian Bök, Catherine Graham, Canisia Lubrin, Bardia Sinaee, Ron Charach, Adam Sol, Emily Schultz, Jónína Kirton, and Zoe Whittall, and many others. Their work offers us new ways of seeing, understanding, and representing this ordinary and extraordinary experience. Current statistics predict 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. We need more art to understand the complexity and dimensions of what this means. This is an anthology for anyone who knows someone. This is an anthology for everyone.

"I almost didn't publish the poems in this volume. In the first place, the poems are so personal, all about my own cancer experience, that I thought no one would be interested. Secondly, the book contains almost 100 poems about cancer and death; I thoughy they might be too depressing for anyone to spend an otherwise pleasant evening reading. But then I concluded that perhaps people who are going through the same diagnosis and treatment might see a little bit of themselves in my journey"--Page 3.

Poet and playwright Dan O'Brien chronicles the year and a half during which both he and his wife were treated for cancer. On the fourteenth anniversary of 9/11--an event that caused their downtown apartment to become "suffused with the World Trade Center's carcinogenic dust"--Dan O'Brien's wife discovers a lump in her breast. Surgery and chemotherapy soon follow, and on the day of his wife's final infusion, O'Brien learns of his own diagnosis. He has colon cancer and will need to undergo his own intensive treatment over the next nine months. Our Cancers is a compelling account of illness and commitment, of parenthood and partnership. This spare and powerful sequence creates an intimate mythology that seeks meaning in illness while also celebrating of the resilience of sufferers, caregivers, and survivors. As O'Brien explains in an introduction, "The consecutiveness of our personal disasters, with a daughter not yet two years old at the start of it, was shattering and nearly silencing. At hospital bedsides, in hospital beds myself, and at home through the cyclical assaults of our therapies, these poems came to me in fragments, as if my unconscious were attempting to reassemble our lives, our identities and memories . . . as if I were in some sense learning how to speak again."
