{"product_id":"anatomy-of-an-illness-9780615540900","title":"Anatomy of an Illness","description":"This fragmented text - a hybrid between poetry and theater- is the result of the mixture of heartbreaking hours of insomnia in the hospital bed and readings from magazines, spiritual books, and pamphlets for patients. Also from entries of the author's personal diary at transformational retreats and from her notes commenting on posters and television programs watched at treatment centers' waiting rooms. All is seamlessly blended to create a distillation born on the process of healing from a deadly disease. Anatomy of an Illness presents a metaphor of illness as a battle of the body pitched against itself as part of the war versus True Self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercedes Amarilis Villaman, Maitreyi Villaman Matos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e La Maga Press, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.12d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615540900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaitreyi Villamán Matos is an accomplished poet, playwright, choreographer, theatre director and producer, born in Dominican Republic and educated in Puerto Rico.
