Product Description
Product Description
I No Longer Dance reveals an athlete's devastating physical and emotional struggle of enduring a painful and crippling disease.
The author, Alice Randall Cocca, suffered from degenerative disc disease, D. D. D., for almost 10 years before her untimely death. D. D. D. robbed her of the passion, "the absolute fire and zest", she once had for living.
Her poetry lays bare the incessant pain and ravaging emotional loss that changed her life drastically. This is her story. Her voice speaks to us on paper. As we turn the pages, we, too, "feel the pain, the severity of her tears, the agony of her walk; the pain that never went away."
"So here I am
Crying
Dying in pain
My body
My soul
BLEEDS
Hear my spine cry"
About the Author
Twin sisters, Alice Randall Cocca and Marie Randall Chandler, were born in Houston, Texas, where they grew up side by side. Later in life, almost simultaneously, they both moved to the Texas Hill Country, where Alice spent the last years of her life suffering from degenerative disc disease.

If you or someone you know suffers from DDD, this book will emphasise the total control this condition has on your life! It's very honest but be warned, its very sad too! The poems are hard hitting but if like me, you suffer from DDD, it will hit home but also let your family, friends and colleagues know how you suffer every day!
