Synopsis
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.

From the Inside Flap
Like a profound laugh, dark chocolate, or a warm massage, these poems offer a powerful healing experience to anyone assaulted by cancer. (And yes, there are a few funny poems in here too!) Saranne Rothberg, CEO, The ComedyCures Foundation and Stage IV Cancer Survivor One of the richest resources I know for those who seek to express or simply understand how cancer affects our lives. Haungingly honest and beautiful. Sharon Bray, Ed.D., author of "A Healing Journey: Writing Together Through Breast Cancer" and "When Words Heal: Writing Through Cancer" People who understand the experience of cancer have much to teach us. Their ability to share what their minds have learned and what their hearts have felt can make life more meaningful for us all. From my experience, my mind, and my heart, know this book is a treasure. Bernie S. Siegel, M.D., author of "Faith, Hope & Healing" and "A Book of Miracles"
