Moving through the decades — teens to fifties — Of a Certain Age explores the unfurling of a life, capturing the tones of the ages, from loss of innocence to contemplation of death. Of the collection, poet Emmett Wheatfall writes “Each poem adds a new layer of intelligence and canny magnetism while a subtle sense of spirituality also weaves through the poems—notwithstanding love, tenderness, kinetic energy, sensuality, and heartbreak. …A wonderful collection for readers coming of age, especially for those in the latter half of life.” Poet Joann Boswell calls the collection, “a breathtaking inspiration.”
Of a Certain Age is available in paperback from Fernwood Press and major booksellers. At the event, the author will be signing books.
