It is rare to find real poetry on these subjects. This is subtle and powerful verse. Really terrific. I admire the strength of character, the humour and the willingness to embrace the very uncomfortable truth that there is no reason why we should not get cancer. Wonderful poetry.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Lee, 2003 Editor of Poems in the Waiting Room: 'Cancer at Both Ends is a remarkable collection - an impressive, stirring record. Medicine has been classically defined as the study of the progress of disease through the morbid anatomy. Bob Crew's work is a healthy response.

Bob Crew's humour is not just mischievous, it's contagious. He has also put his finger on a very interesting area of intellectual debate - Complexity Theory. The wonder is not why things go wrong, but that they do not. But why does it take only one molecule going awl, or wrong, to cause big bad cancer?'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 04, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42720458276927,"sku":"9781804241721","price":14.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/c8ce9e6ee5014435ef2507adf8933a35.webp?v=1765089206","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/surviving-cancer-at-both-ends-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
