Perpetual Care: Poems and Photos by Susan Eisenberg

Recently, I was asked by CCTV to do a feature on Susan Eisenberg, a poet and photographer affiliated with the Cambridge Women's Commission. Eisenberg's latest project, Perpetual Care, is an installation of photos and poems inspired by her 5-year long battle with multiple chronic illness. It's a thoughtful exploration of the "thin membrane" separating sickness and health, life and death, and the artist's struggle towards a "plan forward" in the face of illness.



Perpetual Care is currently on view at Lesley University's Marran Gallery until March 31. This project is sponsored by The Women's Committee Cancer Project, The Cambridge Women's Commission, and Lesley University.
