a slice of life

is Claudia Clark's first book. She was born in 1975 in Wokingham, Berkshire and now lives in  Middlesex.

The book is inspired by a love of poetry and fuelled by the loss of her father to cancer in 2001.

 

 

a slice of life is a collection of poetry I have written to raise money for Cancer Research UK and for the Duchess of Kent House in Reading where my father died on August 9th 2001, after surviving cancer for 7 years. The proceeds from the sale of the book will go directly to these two charities.

Cancer is becoming a normality. It is an inevitable factor in so many lives. If you are able to say that you do not know someone who is currently ill in your own family or circle of friends you are unusual. But, having cancer is not just about dying; more importantly it is about how people, their families, friends and colleagues live with it. Cancer is a life style.

The poems within the book are a mixture of short light-hearted verses and some more serious, poignant ones.
The poems may make you smile with familiarity, cry with empathy, laugh out loud or feel defiant and cross.
At the very least the book will make you smile, knowing that you have contributed another piece to the ever-expanding jigsaw puzzle that is conquering cancer, and changing lives.

All proceeds of A Slice of Life benefit Duchess of Kent House Charity, (charity registration number: 1085912) and Cancer Research UK (1089464)
