<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the bestselling author of "Forever Fifty" comes a new collection of poems that tickles, consoles, and offers the pleasure of instant recognition--the perfect gift for any woman anywhere in the vicinity of 60. 36 two-color illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Judith Viorst is known and loved by readers of all ages, for children's books such as <i>Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day</i>; nonfiction titles, including the bestseller <i>Necessary Losses</i>; and her collections of humorous poetry in her decade series, which make perfect gifts for birthdays, Mother's Day, graduation, Christmas, Chanukah, or at any time of year.</b> <p/><i>Suddenly Sixty</i> is a funny and touching book that speaks directly to the sixty-ish woman, inviting her to laugh about, sigh over, and come to hopeful terms with the complex issues of this decade of life. <p/>Among the poems in this charmingly illustrated collection are those exploring the joys--and strains--of children and grandchildren, and the intimacy of old friends who've 'known each other so long/We knew each other back when we were virgins." There are poems that tip their hat to mortality, wrestle with a husband's retirement --"He's coming with me when I shop at the supermarket/So I won't have to shop alone. I like alone."-- and acknowledge the fact that at this stage of life we'd "give up a night of wild rapture with Denzel Washington for a nice report on my next bone density test." Offering plenty of laughs, a few tears, and cover-to-cover truths, these are poems for everyone who would "rather say never say die than enough is enough." Every woman who has reached this decade will--rueful and smiling--find herself in the pages of this book.
