Slip Stream is both a moving but uplifting book about a experience with cancer and a writer's thoughtful exploration of how life may (or may not) be expressed in words. AUP's reader called it 'a brave and healing book full of pleasures'.

Moving and uplifting, this compilation of mostly short poems conveys the author's personal battle with breast cancer, from the initial mammogram through biopsy, several operations, radiotherapy treatment, and recovery. The poems express the reality of balancing a challenging, life-threatening disease with one's daily routine, proposing small distractions and coping mechanisms while charting the passage of time by procedures done, books read, appointments made, food cooked, and dreams dreamed.
