Coe, F. L. (2011). ""A sudden lift of wings": Poetry and prose about Alzheimer's disease." Perspect Biol Med 54(1): 106-114.: "The editor has collected poems from people who have cared for loved ones with Alzheimer's disease. The writers range from prize-winning poets to amateurs, but all share in common a passion, an experience that evokes from them emotions they long to rest in the crystal of poetry.
Their poems illuminate the dark terrors of this most disabling and dehumanizing disease, and, perhaps surprisingly, reveal an ancient truth: that love is stronger than death."
