Acre of Light: Living With Cancer

Mark Nepo
A book of poetry and philosophical insights that documents a "profoundly moving journey through illness and the transformation of healing". In 1987, Mark Nepo and his wife, Anne Myers Nepo, were diagnosed as having cancer. In May of 1987 Mark's wife Anne was diagnosed as having cervical cancer, at the same time Mark developed a mysterious tumor in his skull. In 1988 another tumor appeared on Mark's 8th rib. After much anguish, fear and desperation through the combination of both traditional and non-traditional methods, including visualization and prayer, both Mark and his wife as of their last check up are well and healing back into life. Acre of Light documents their profoundly moving journey through illness and the transformation of healing. The book affirms the will to live without denying the suffering we encounter. It confronts both spirit and pain with an honesty that in itself is healing. Though their story is framed around a particular crisis, cancer, the depth of their journey provides useful tools for anyone in crisis. Mark Nepo is a poet and philosopher residing in upstate New York.

Atlantis

Atlantis: selected poems, 1953-1982
by Slavko Mihalić; translated by Charles Simic and Peter Kastmiler
"This translation of poems by the Serbian poet Slavko Mihalic was published when I was three years old, 1983. And yet I carried it around the subway with me last night reading it. And I'm now closely involved in the career of one of its authors (Charles Simic, who co-translated with Peter Kastmiler). The world is interesting. Simic writes in the introduction: "There is no question that these poets [Eastern European poets]have felt and thought about the evil in our century more acutely than their contemporaries in the West." The poems are great-- bloody, chipper, romantic. I like "Final Night", "The Bread on the Table" and "Large Grieving Women" especially." - Sal's Reviews
