The contributors to this startingly original collection have two things in common: they all have cancer, and none of them tells a 'conventional cancer story' of heroic defiance in the face of adversity.
No woman who has had cancer continues her life uncharged. In their determination to uncover the complexities and subtleties of cancer truths, the contributors adopt entirely other ways of understanding their experience. Debbie Dickinson imagines herself as music incarnate, as instruments and voices, different selves, combine and conflict. Jackie Stacey confronts the cancer narrative head on - likening it to Hollywood structures with heroes, villains and closures - and looks for a different way to convey her own story. Patricia Duncker examines the anger so often excised from the heroic stories, and unflinchingly looks at the reaction of others to her and her disease. Felly Nkweto Simmonds finds cancer tempering experience, bringing strength but also aloneness. Poet Marilyn Hacker uses a sonnet sequence to convey the emotions her 'Cancer Winter' aroused; Carole Colbour chronicles the painful dissolution and renewal of a marriage.
