Monster

"Monster" is a unique and deeply moving meditation on disability, medicine and caregiving. In this collection of linked essays and poems Jeneva Burroughs Stone reflects on hubris; scientific advances and their significance to humanity; and the responsibility of a creator to her creation. "Jeneva Burroughs Stone's "Monster" does what seems impossible -- weaves together the threads of creating and caring for a child with significant disabilities with those of poetry, intricate intellectual observation and, above all, love and wonder for what is wrought." --Elizabeth Aquino, Hope for a Sea Change (2014)
