From initial diagnosis to remission to relapse to death, the experience is narrated by the man's son, a practicing doctor. Charles Bardes, a physician and poet, draws on years of experience with patients and sickness to construct a narrative that links myth, diverse metamorphoses, and the modern mechanics of death. We stand with the doctors, the family, and, above all, a sick man and his disease as their voices are artfully crafted into a new and powerful language of illness. 410 0$aPhoenix poets. 606 $aTerminally ill parents$vPoetry 606 $aCatastrophic illness$xPsychological aspects$vPoetry 606 $aCancer$vPoetry 606 $aPatients$vPoetry 606 $aPhysicians$vPoetry 606 $aMedical care$vPoetry 606 $aFamilies of the terminally ill$vPoetry 606 $aFathers and sons$vPoetry 606 $aAutobiographical poetry, American 615 0$aTerminally ill parents 615 0$aCatastrophic illness$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aCancer 615 0$aPatients 615 0$aPhysicians 615 0$aMedical care 615 0$aFamilies of the terminally ill 615 0$aFathers and sons 615 0$aAutobiographical poetry, American. 676 $a811.6 700 $aBardes$b Charles, $0957053 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164953803321 996 $aDiary of Our Fatal Illness$92167763 997 $aUNINA
