Note: These lists are a selection of books in the Evergreen Library on topics related to several programs and courses on chronic illness, disability and health. They are not bibliographies of every relevant book or journal in the Evergreen Library! Remember that Evergreen students have easy access to books in libraries throughout Washington State via the CASCADE borrowing system. The Timberland Regional Library also circulates a number of books on related topics.

Fiction and Poetry

Note:  There is so much fiction and, poetry related to illness, disability, and working with people who are ill or disabled that I didn’t try to make a comprehensive inventory. See the excellent annotated index below, from the Arts and Medicine Project at the New York University School of Medicine, and then check to see if the works are available through Evergreen or Cascade. Note that the index can be searched by word or phrase, keyword, title, name of author, gender of author, physician authors, authors of selected ethnicity, genre, era and annotator.
