William Zink is the author of several novels and poetry collections. In August of 2015, his wife went in for a routine mammogram – a week after riding in Pelotonia, a central Ohio bike ride for cancer. Cancer was found in her right breast. Because of family history, she decided to have a double mastectomy. “Beyond Despair” is a collection of poems, written for and about his wife, as she battled this disease.
“Beyond Despair is a moving and very personal reflection on the impact that cancer can have on an individual and a family. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a glimpse at both the emotional and physical impact that a cancer diagnosis can have in the life of a family.”
– Doug Ulman, President/CEO PELOTONIA®
