      "Breast cancer is confronted here with keen sensitivity and candor
        in poems that are serious but not sentimental or self-pitying. . . . Almost
        all the verses are written in direct and prose-like style---this creates
        a singular tone and lends the collection richness and resilience. And
        though terrible grief and loss emerge in there pages, so do humor and
        hope."

Pressestimmen

"[The poems] delineate a psychic landscape which encompasses hope through the process of coming to terms with cataclysmic change. Gritty, honest and remarkable for their lack of self-pity, some of these poems are even humorous. All represent the poets' ability to name their struggle and, in naming, have some power over it... Written in spare, clear language, the poems sound accessible and beautifully crafted." -- Alison Townsend, Women's Review of Books. "Articulates both the almost inexpressible hurt and fear that any cancer involves, as well as that 'neutering,' as Bettie Sellers calls it, specific to breast cancer." -- ALA Booklist
