This is a poet's journal with a difference. After suffering a stroke in 1999, the author kept a diary of his experience in hospital and of the subsequent recuperation at home, which ended shortly after January 1, 2000. As in his other journals, he observed the life around him, with notations of the living moment giving rise to reflection.
