Synopsis

"Every time I write about my heart, I write about walking. Every time I write about walking, I write about my heart." What is it like to be born with a congenital heart defect? What does it mean to live knowing your heart may one day fail you? How do you walk without moving a muscle? In Pacemaker, poet David Toms deftly blends essay, poem and diary in an account of resisting, confronting and living with a rare heart condition. His experience speaks to all of us in its exploration of what it means to live in a fragile yet resilient body, and to keep moving.
