The author has been a practicing ophthalmologist in Lincoln,
Nebraska for the past thirty seven years. After being diagnosed
with metastatic squamous cell cancer of the throat he used poetry
to cope with the anxieties caused by the upheaval of his orderly
existence and to deal with his own tenuous mortality. By using the
familiar and comfortable themes of family, home, nature and sports,
he was able to reach the five year survival milestone for this type
of cancer. His poems, which begin in terror and end in acceptance,
are a celebration of these tumultuous five years. His book reflects
his gratitude for being able to experience all of the joys and
sorrows encountered during the five year span between diagnosis and
cure.
