Daring, sly, and unlike any other book youâve read, this memoir-in-poems tackles cancer with a bawdy wit guaranteed to âmake you laugh in cancerâs faceâ (Marisa Acocella Marchetto, author of Cancer Vixen).
As a vibrant woman in her late thirties, a mother of two, poet, artist, and teacher, Micki Myers decided to confront her cancer diagnosis head on with the sharpest tools in her arsenal: namely, her sense of humor and unbridled poetic license.
The result is a charming, poignant, laugh-out-loud collection that hits all the highs (morphine) and lows (everything else) of being a cancer patient and surviving with your spirit intact (even if your boobs are not).
Itâs Probably Nothing. . .* provides the perfect blend of wit and pathos to help you or a loved one achieve much-needed perspective on this frightening journey, whether recently diagnosed or reveling in remission. From losing your hair (even, ahem, down there) and gaining two bouncy silicone strangers, to the pitfalls of marijuana therapy and the endless chemo-room muzak âthat makes you think / survival might be overrated,â Myers reminds you that youâre not alone and that itâs okay to laugh.
