When an adult child becomes caretaker for a parent with cancer, family dynamics shift profoundly. In "Cancer Courts My Mother," LindaAnn LoSchiavo captures this complex journey through poetry that balances tenderness with brutal honesty. . . . The journey isn't pretty—sometimes the words are fierce—but this collection digs deep into universal experiences of loss and care.

In "Cancer Courts My Mother," LindaAnn LoSchiavo chronicles an emotional journey through varied poetic forms. She weaves a metaphor of nurturing plants back to life while her mother finds remission, then faces cancer's return. The collection reconciles memories of a difficult mother with the current, vulnerable one . . . . As both subject and narrator, LoSchiavo illuminates the delicate balance between personal autonomy and familial duty.
