Publisher's Synopsis
In 1987, poet Mark Nepo and his wife Anne were both diagnosed with cancer. This audio, based on Mark's book, Acre of Light: Living with Cancer, narrates through poetry and prose the intensely moving story of their journey through illness and healing. Woven throughout the text is Therese Schroeder-Shekers's sacral and serene music, a synthesis of medieval and Renaissance harmonies composed around the spiritual theme of pilgrimage.
