Joe Harrington's article on DocuPoetry on Jacket 2

If you missed it, this thorough, provocative article is on the front page of Jacket 2. Joe is writing a 3-part (each part book-length) poetic documentation of his mother's 1970s death from breast cancer. It's a riveting account of memory, loss, reconstruction, confabulation, literature, photos, medical records, and other documents. This is ground breaking.
