A Journey Back From Cancer
Revised and Expanded Second Edition
By Elizabeth Simpson
March 2008
Your
beautiful book of shared experiences is
heartening.”
—CAROL
SHIELDS,
1999
After more than ten
years of cancer-free, vibrant living, bestselling author
Elizabeth Simpsonís experience offers offers a ray of hope
for those seeking paths to both physical and emotional
healing.
In 1996, Simpson was given an "inoperable" lung cancer diagnosis, and little chance of long-term survival. Instead of giving in, she worked on "perfecting hope," both in her life, and in this memoir of cancer recovery and survival.
In the decade since The Perfection of Hope became an instant classic on cancer survival, Simpsonís way of integrating physical and spiritual healing has proven its own success. The combination of alternative and complementary therapies that have helped her survive beyond even her own expectations has become an accepted approach to cancer treatment.
In this revised, expanded edition of her bestselling
memoir, Simpson shares five all-new chapters that explore
the scope and human toll of cancer. Sometimes sweet,
sometimes bittersweet, and always poignant, she gives all
those touched by cancer perfect proofóthat there is always
hope.

Taking Poetry Public Across Canada
By Wendy Morton
November 2006
Wendy Morton has done more to redefine what it means to
publicize poetry than any poet I know in Canada. Not only
does she evangelize for taking poetry into public places,
and practicing it to change our relationships with people
we meet in public life, she also takes corporate sponsors
along in the process. Morton's memoir shows how perfectly
suited poetry can be to all of the manifold meanings of the
word publicize.
