'Preparation for and recovery from breast cancer surgery can be a layered process, involving intra- and inter-personal activities and reflection. There is evidence of the efficacy of these processes for recovery and survival. This research looks at how, on an intra-personal level, journaling, poetry writing and self-prescribed bibliotherapy boded well for recovery. On an inter-personal level, ritual with friends and digital story-making also assisted recovery. Indeed, these experiences may be helpfully shared with others in the same predicament.'

    'Official language smitheryed to sanction ignorance and preserve privilege is a suit of armor polished to shocking glitter, a husk from which the knight departed long ago. Yet there it is: dumb, predatory, sentimental. Exciting reverence in schoolchildren, providing shelter for despots, summoning false memories of stability, harmony among the public. (Morrison 1993)

    'These lines, drawn from novelist, essayist, and teacher Toni Morrison’s 1993 Nobel lecture, offer a vivid description of the kinds of rhetoric dominating our public, professional, and even our cultural spaces today, although the cracks are beginning to show, and we would be hard pressed to claim that ‘harmony’ prevails.' (Deborah Hunn, Ffion Murphy, Catherine Noske and Anne Surma, Introduction)
