The Undying

These days it seems everyone knows, and perhaps loves, someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. The poet and essayist Anne Boyer takes us through her journey battling breast cancer with the same dexterity she displays in her poetry: she certainly doesn’t graze over the miserable realities of the disease, or the tiny moments of grace. This book is a heartbreaking exploration of the cancer industry and what it means to be sick in the modern world. It’s astonishing and unforgettable!
