| | Boomer Girls - Poetry Book Review - AgeVenture Profile (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | "Boomer Girls: poems by women" is a veritable cavalcade of poetic energy, passion, heartbreak, and giddiness on the theme of women's lives from childhood to adolescence to middle age. |
 | | Boomer Girls share a common culture, bound by their generation's political history, by pop icons like Barbie--that pedestaled Boomer Girl who's just turned forty--and by the music that's never stopped playing: Janis Joplin, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, the Ronettes, Van Morrison, Patsy Cline, John Lennon. |
 | | The Boomer poets in this feisty anthology speak with diverse voices and embody a wide range of experiences, yet their generation's universal images--the hula hoops, TV shows, finned auto-mobiles, and other household gods of their youth--unite them in ways both hilarious and tender. |
