Jane was responding to the new book that is out by David Rieff, on the death of his mother Susan Sontag. She was a fighter, decades of fighting cancer. The book is Swimming in a Sea of Death.
Jane's Poem:
For Susan Sontag
The desire to live
that burns in some
compels the fight
denies acceptance
is it ego holding fast
or the force that permeates
the tree and holds it half in ground
and half in air for centuries?
- Jane Ann Flint
