Product reviews for Blood Lines

As someone living with a blood cancer, the resonance felt with this beautifully messy and creative means of communicating the harsh reality that is cancer is profound. How does one speak of the unspeakable? How does one make sense of that which makes no sense? Robertson generously provides an opening into the realities of cancer treatment through poetry, soundbites and diary entries, correctly making clear that we cannot know what this journey holds as we will undertake a lot of it alone. For who wants their loved ones to observe cancer treatment’s harsh reality? Roberstson does a beautiful job of sharing her experience while embraced in the unenviable task of coming to terms with her own mortality. A gift of wisdom, straight from the heart of the wound.
