Dear Lucy, I am not a poet but I just received a book of poems, entitled "Parkinsonnets and selected poems" written by a Parkinsonian, Beverly Steward. (By the way we have the pleasure of personally knowing her and she is a wonderful person and has done a lot for the cause of PD.) Anyway if you want to get a copy of it, contact the National Parkinson Foundation at 1501 NW 9th Avenue, Bob Hope Road, Miami, FL 33136-1494. Hope it reaches you in time for your father's Birthday! Good luck. Wendy (& John)
