Sugared Three: The Poems Of Diabetes by Elias Sassoon (English) Paperback Book

Sugared Three

by Elias Sassoon

A poetry collection about juvenile diabetes? Is that possible? Yes. The poems are about a family of sufferers, a mom, dad, and son who are dealing with the onslaught of a disease that takes no prisoners. It is an honest look at diabetes taken from the personal vantage point of a family so afflicted. Read the inner thoughts of a husband battling the disease since he was twenty-three and a son stricken at three and a half, and a wife having to deal with the consequences. The collection consists of sixty poems divided into three chapters: -Chapter 1 deals with the disease from the husband's perspective. -Chapter 2 deals with the wife/mother's feelings. -Chapter 3 deals with the son and is written from his perspective. The poems make you cognizant of the scourge that is growing in victims worldwide. Education and resulting research will hopefully offer a cure in the near future.
