In poems and compositions including “The Good Patient: A Play,” “A Note on Common Sense,” “Hot-Girl Summer,” and “1000 Kinds of Clouds,” Grant deftly explores every emotion, from the gripping panic of diagnosis to the bittersweet relief of recovery, and the heartbeats in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnpretentious, gut-wrenchingly honest, and at times devastatingly funny, \u003ci\u003eLump\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the fear, hope, everyday indignities of illness, and unexpected joys of healing with sobering clarity and wisdom.
