Book Description
Now Judith Viorst looks at what it's like to be (gulp) fifty.
Writing with the warmth and authenticity that have become her trademarks, Viorst once again demonstrates her uncanny ability to transform our daily realities into poems that make us laugh with recognition. Whether her subject is the decline of the body (It's hard to be devil-may-care/When there are pleats in your derri�re) or future aspirations (Before I go, I'd like to have high cheekbones./I'd like to talk less like New Jersey, and more like Claire Bloom), she always speaks directly to our condition. Her funny, compassionate poems shed a reassuring light on the fine art of aging, and will delight anyone who is now (or forever) fifty.
