​When faced with an aggressive and rare cancer diagnosis, Jeannie Piekos, writer, poet and art activist, found a way to navigate and share her cancer journey through essays and poetry. In Buoyancy, she travels from the heart-breaking, life-threatening diagnosis through the treatment protocol with its side-effects and fallout, and onward into a transformed, unrecognizable self that yearns to find self-acceptance and possibly, recovery. Buoyancy provides a lens into a private space that allows the reader to be witness to the loneliness, bittersweet poignancy  and transformative power of disease.  

​The Broadside Project 
Jeannie collaborated with artist, Janice Porter, on this inspiring piece for the Broadside Project, an arts initiative of the Powderhorn Writers Festival.

Faith
I want so much to walk with you into my vision where there is joy at just the sight of you and only humor for our follies
            Oh come let us be faithful

I want to walk with you as we set aside our suffering and gaze unflinchingly into the face of God which is housed here inside one another.
         Let us be joyful and triumphant.

I want to walk with you through this season of renewal, going darkly, bravely into our own depths to find our own answers. 
          Sing in exultation.

I want to walk with you into a year never before experienced and fully live our lives one year closer to perfection.
          For we are born of Angels.
