“Beyond Forgetting: Poetry and Prose about Alzheimer’s Disease” Edited by Holly J. Hughes

This collection brings together the work of 100 contributors – “doctors, nurses, social workers, hospice workers, daughters, sons, wives and husbands,” notes the book blurb – who have chosen to confront the topic of Alzheimer’s through personal stories, poems and short prose pieces. Each writer has been touched in some way by the disease, and the range of literary contributions by both formal and informal caregivers is touching and deeply moving.“Beyond Forgetting: Poetry and Prose about Alzheimer’s Disease” Edited by Holly J.
