Description
Judith Viorst's latest collection of poems explores life in its eighth decade. With characteristic wit and wisdom, she shares her experiences of love, marriage, grandchildren, and growing older. In these verses, Viorst tackles the challenges and joys of this stage of life with humor and candor. She reflects on the changes that come with age, from successful medical interventions to the pleasures of rediscovering the world around her. Her poems are a testament to the idea that eighty is not too old to dream, flirt, drink, or dance. Viorst's "decades" series has long been praised for its insight and humor, and this latest collection is no exception. With its zesty tone and hopeful message, it will resonate with readers who recognize themselves in her knowing observations and joyful affirmations.
