Poetic Obituaries: Joe Daily didn't shy away

from talking about his disease or being ill in his writing--which included songs as well as the books of poetry "Girls on Chemo" and "the b-sides of death and dying."

"Death seems to permeate my writing, but it's not about depression or sorrow," Joe Daily said in a Journal article in 2003. "It's just about looking at it from a different angle."
