Marc J. Straus - poet, oncologist and art patron - has published voluminously in many fields and is the recipient of awards as a clinician, humanist, poet and scientist.

A distinguished oncologist whose literary work has been performed in venues across the country, Marc's latest work, NOT GOD (released in April 2006), is a searing literary and stage work that dramatizes a patient's journey through illness. In these eloquent poems (monologues) of the patient and her physician, the language of the hospital is revealed...the shuffle of nurses, beeps of machines, counting of pills and measuring of words.

NOT GOD is Marc Straus' third poetry collection published by TriQuarterly Books - Northwestern University Press.

"NOT GOD is that rarest of combinations: graceful construction and unflinching honesty." - Prairie Schooner
