Rather than participate in the editorial process, I chose these poems myself, and I am publishing this chapbook. These poems are an expression of my current process: how cancer left me immunocompromised in a pandemic, and Parkinson's disease has created \"waking dreams.\" Glaucoma, which would seem to be the least dangerous, has cost me the most. I can't read nor write nor drive a car nor play tennis nor do anything to enjoy the full spectrum of what life has to offer, so I remain indebted to the poetic process to find life's significance, learning to embrace what remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hip Pocket Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50719013044498,"sku":"9780917658488","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_59213241-3970-4d0b-a8fd-30e541b800bb.jpg?v=1734655853","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/poems-from-the-threshold-9780917658488","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
