Terminal surreal : poems

Martha Silano (Author)
"In her masterful poetry collection Terminal Surreal, Martha Silano confronts the reality of mortality with gorgeous attention to imagery and scene. The book follows a trajectory from early symptoms before diagnosis with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to full-blown illness and its effects on friends and family, including her children, who appear in poems like 'After Dropping My Son Off at College' and 'My Nineteen-Year-Old Daughter Is My Personal Assistant.'"-- Provided by The University of Chicago Press
