This Is What It Feels Like: A Book of Poems Written by a Cancer Patient

Mackenzie Paul’s This Is What It Feels Like – A Book of Poems Written by a Cancer Patient is her debut publication, featuring her cancer story through a collection of 45 poems and illustrations. She was inspired to write during both the most hopeful and the most difficult moments of her battle with cancer. This book is a collection of poems written to raise awareness and convey the lived experience of cancer. It is dedicated to those currently in the fight, those who have survived, those grieving a loss, and those who are trying to understand as they watch their loved ones suffer. Through this work, Mackenzie hopes her poems and illustrations will provide comfort, encouragement, and the reminder that no one walks this journey alone. View Less
