Product Description

In The Cancer Journals, Audre Lorde reminds us that the body is a barometer, registering the earth's wounds on a cellular level. The permeable body may be particularly susceptible to toxins, but it is also remarkably receptive to the healing possibilities of interconnectedness. Well, a testament to the experience of living in a female body objectified by the cancer industry, is a hybrid text that seeks to reopen the body, not to further harm, but to transformational healing. Exploring the work of other women writing through their own, or their loved one's, cancer diagnosis, the book is particularly influenced by Audre Lorde, Susan Sontag, Rachel Carson, Terry Tempest Williams, Fanny Burney, Alice James, and Kathy Acker. Committed to connectivity, the journal, the diary, the letter and the poem emerge as forms through which the body can both speak its wounds and commit itself to the care of other vulnerable bodies.
