FrankenTit - Rose Drew - diskuze

What do you do when you discover you have breast cancer on your birthday just as you're about to start a new job?Rose Drew knew what to do. Write. Laugh. Cry. Spread the word. Do it. Have the last word. Share. Be as bemused as it takes to breathe again. "Ordinarily, I loathe the notion of "battling" cancer or "fighting" this disease. No darling. The fight will be against insurance, fear, crap doctors, funding, and time. Put on your Boudica Face and get in there." This poetry collection poetry cathartically charts Rose Drew's personal experiences of the condition, its treatment, mastectomy and its impact on life, memory and unusual practicalities. With a fistful of humour, Rose Drew throws down the gauntlet to cancer itself. She's not laughing at the experience, she's breathing rhythmically through every line, offering a map to resilience and self-love. FrankenTit is as empowering as it is heartrending, as hilarious as it is profound, as candid an ogle into the human soul at a time of life and death as any scan.
