​You blinked, and now you are older than you ever thought possible. Delve into the pages of The Big Indignity and explore the complex issues of aging in a society that celebrates youth and beauty. A society that sometimes treats the elderly as if they are disposable. Laugh along with “Ode to a Mammogram” and “The Big Indignity” as they poke fun at the some of the unpleasant medical tests folks must endure as they age. Contemplate “Dyeing to Look Young” and puzzle over why women torture themselves just to appear a little bit younger. “Grandma Love” will remind you how wonderful it can be to be a grandparent while “The Oncology Center” takes a look at what happens when a loved one is ill. The Big Indignity does not hold back. The thirty-one provocative poems in this collection discuss everything from setting new goals, to the joys of grand parenthood to contemplating end of life decisions. Dignity and joy are the running themes throughout this book, and in the words of C.S. Lewis, “You are never too old to start a new goal or dream a new dream.” Keep on dreaming.
I love these poems. As I read the book, I would stop to read parts out loud to my wife. Just an amazing work.
