Already There: Reflections on Living While Dying (2016)
Poetry by Richard Tate
llustrations by Lauren Karnitz
Prints of illustrations are available for $35 each, shipping included.
"Rick" Tate lived with cancer for 15 years, in stage 4 for his last five years. During this period he participated in multiple cancer trials and wrote poems about "living with" rather than "dying from" cancer. His poems wrestle with physical limitations, pain, fear, relationships, questioning what's next, and most importantly, the beauty of what is within us and around us right now.
These illustrations are hopeful pieces, teasing out what it means to embrace one's reality: life's journey, its cyclical nature, being one among many, questioning truth and reality, loving and caring along the way.
