"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."
