This is the first critical study to offer a sustained analysis of the theme of cancer in contemporary poetry. In discussing works by major poets, including Paul Muldoon, Jo Shapcott and Christopher Reid, Cancer Poetry traces the complex ways in which poets represent cancer, and assesses how poetry can be instrumental to emotional recovery.
Iain Twiddy is Professor of English at Hokkaido University, Japan. His published work includes essays on Seamus Heaney, Ted Hughes and Paul Muldoon, and the 2012 study Pastoral Elegy in Contemporary British and Irish Poetry.
