Description
Running from the Reaper is a poignant and heartfelt collection of poetry by John Smelcer. In this powerful book, the author shares his genuine and human experience of facing cancer, grappling with mortality, and finding strength in vulnerability.
The poems are full of humor, despair, doubt, and faith, as the author asks himself the difficult questions that many face when diagnosed with a life-threatening illness: "Why me?" and "What did I do to deserve this?" Smelcer's words offer a unique perspective on the cancer experience, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
This book is a worthwhile read for anyone who has faced or cares about someone who has faced cancer. It offers a message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity, reminding us that surrendering to treatment can be just as important as fighting it.
