Produktbeschreibung
50/50 is a collection of poems that examine life with perspective in both directions-missing the tremendous joys of motherhood past and searching forward for new purpose. The poems in 50/50 are about being stuck in the middle. Young enough that her twenty-year-old daughter still borrows her clothes, yet old enough that she can admit to wearing bell bottom jeans and the big hair of the eighties, the poet grapples with the stuff of aging. This collection is full of self-examination, longing, and love. If you've ever said goodbye to your grown children, sending them out into the world while grasping for something to take their place, you'll understand the treasure of those few grace-filled moments that remain solid in your memory. These poems encourage us to accept middle age with all its pain and loss, even embrace it, feeling more grateful for every sunset and more determined to make the years ahead matter.
