Product reviews for Blood Lines

Blood Lines takes readers on an intimate journey through the experience of a blood cancer diagnosis and the reality of life beyond the initial news—expressed in a way that few have articulated so powerfully. Juliet’s poetry captures the raw emotions, struggles and moments of humour that come with hospital stays, balancing the surreal world of treatment with life outside.

For those familiar with blood markers, neutrophils, PET scans and platelets, this collection will resonate deeply. Juliet has truly nailed it—her poems paint a vivid picture of both the absurd and profound aspects of living with AML. Her ability to distil complex emotions into words will have many readers nodding in recognition, thinking me too.

This is a heartwarming, honest and deeply moving account. I highly recommend it to anyone walking alongside a loved one with blood cancer.
