Description

This moving prose poem tells the story of an aged man who suffers a prolonged and ultimately fatal illness.

From initial diagnosis to remission to relapse to death, the experience is narrated by the man's son, a practicing doctor.

Charles Bardes, a physician and poet, draws on years of experience with patients and sickness to construct a narrative that links myth, diverse metamorphoses, and the modern mechanics of death.

We stand with the doctors, the family, and, above all, a sick man and his disease as their voices are artfully crafted into a new and powerful language of illness.
