All Comments on 'On hearing my sister has cancer'

A fast-paced snapshot

Of a universe

Crumbling;

With writing as an outlet

Out of a

Black dream...

That was a heartbreaking momentthat you allowed us to share.

First, I'm very sorry about your sister.

Some poems driven by this kind of emotion are lacking, as far as being poetic goes. But this very well written and powerful. One of your best.

Wishing you and your family well as you deal with this devastation.

You take the reader into the moment and make them live it with you. For myself,it brought back with vivid clarity, the instant I learned my mother had cancer. It seems strange to compliment someone on such a intensely personal moment..but of your writing of it..amazing. Intense. Heartbreakingly evocative. Thank you for sharing.
