In doing research for our campaign,
we've been shocked to learn that many men
do not know the prostate's function.
Richard Saul Wurman's epochal book
Information Anxiety says that if someone
does not understand the basics of a topic,
he can't learn anything new about it. So
that's why we're not about cancer. We're
about the prostate. Look for more retro
magazine and movie posters about positive
prostate-health steps to take coming soon.
If you have prostate cancer, our goal is
make you grin with reminders about healthy
attitudes and actions to help fight the
disease.

Garretson's monthly poster is featured daily on our
homepage and at www.pcaw.org
(Prostate Cancer Awareness Week). His book,
Niches of Clarity at Gunflint, is a sardonic
view of the infuriatingly awful healthcare
practices and lazy cavalier behavior by men that
together give us today's prostate cancer
epidemic.
"Instead of adding to the Web's
voluminous text resources, I chose to modernize
pulp fiction magazine covers from the 30's to the
60's. (See www.MansGland.com
)
Why? Because I believe smiling at the absurdity of
the disease is one of many coping and healing paths
to follow," she says.
"My Requests: Women viewers:
Please lead healthy men by the ear to this page and
make them look. Healthy Men: Glance, grimace, get a
PSA. Men with Prostate Cancer: Hey, try laughing in
the face of dread. It helps." Kim can be reached at
