About This Item

San Francisco, CA: Spinsters, Ink. Very Good+. 1980. Second Edition. Paperback. Very Good+ to Near Fine in Wraps: shows just a hint of wear to the extremities; the mildest rubbing to the panels; a former owner's gift inscripton at the page facing the copyright page; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creases to the panels. Free of creases to the backstrip. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. A handsome, nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing the mildest wear and minor, unobtrusive imperfections. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8 x 5.25 x 0.25 inches). Language: English. Weight: 4 ounces. Trade Paperback. I cried through most of this book. Not out of pity for what Audre was going through, but simply because I have seldom seen anyone face such a crisis with such nobility and strength. On some level I think we all fear breast cancer. This book took the terror out of it for me and made me feel that if I were to end up with cancer that I would somehow come through it okay. Audre demonstrates that no matter how bad things get there is something to be learned and gained by the experience. She is a very inspiring and admirable women. She deals with the issue from both a practical, political, intellectual standpoint as well as an emotional one. I would recomend this book for anyone who has, or knows anyone with cancer, and for anyone who simply gets overwhelmed by the thought of someday getting breast cancer. She took on a tough and painful subject with the sensitivity and style of the poet she was , and gave us some wisdom to live by. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 77 pages .
