In this fascinating book, Johanna Emeney examines the global proliferation of new poetry related to illness and medical treatment from the perspective of doctors, patients, and carers in light of the growing popularity of the medical humanities. She provides a close analysis of poetry from New Zealand, the USA, and the UK that deals with sociological and philosophical aspects of sickness, ailment, medical treatment, care, and recuperation.
Johanna Emeney, PhD, works as a tutor of Creative Writing at Massey University in Auckland and as co-facilitator of the Michael King Young Writers’ Programme for senior school students. Emeney read English Literature and Japanese at Pembroke College, Cambridge. Two books of poetry: Apple & Tree (Cape Catley, 2011) and Family History (Makaro Press, 2017).
"[This book] offers sound scholarship and close readings, contextualized through theoretical and sociological materials, and humanizing conclusions that democratize questions of the lyric voice, questioning where authority lies in medicalized experiences. This will be a compelling landmark in the study of New Zealand's poetry as well as within the broader field of medical poetry."-H-Net Reviews in the Humanities and Social Sciences, Andy C. Brown, University of Exeter, 08/2018
