Poets are patients, survivors, spouses, family members, friends and health practitioners.
After her husband's diagnosis and treatment for cancer, Karin B. Miller, a writer and editor, started The Cancer Poetry Project to collect poems on the cancer experience written by cancer patients and those who love them. Platinol, bleomycin, neupogen. Get used to us. In just months, I spit them out. Now I have to look them up in a book.
