When you lose your vision, your hearing and your balance, it's hard to find any humor in the inevitable aging process. These all too human conditions-from wrinkles to worn-out knees, counting calories and colonoscopies, and all the aches and pains in between-form the backbone of Body Language, a hilarious collection of poems that lament the infirmities of age. We can all relate to the frustration of aging body parts, but if you can poke fun at yourself, you can handle whatever life hands you! So read, enjoy, and laugh! And remember, "Though our bodies do not function / As they did when we sought action / With pills and exercise each day / We hope that we will be OK..."

Light-Hearted Poems about Aging By Conny Title: Body LanguageAuthor: Janet Cameron HoultPublisher: Outskirts PressISBN: 978-1-4787-5033-8“So many things I’ve got to doIt makes me tired, I’m telling youI think I’ll sit and rest a whileAnd watch the others with a smileWho handle tasks with energy burstsBut me, I’ll do my resting first.”Janet Cameron Hoult writes in her poem titled “Resting First” in her book, Body Language: Another Collection of Poems About Aging.Second in the collection of poetry on aging, this seventy-five-page paperback targets those who enjoy short poems that discuss growing older. With no profanity, the topics of body parts may not be appreciated by immature readers. Acceptable to current day writing of poetry, some of the poems lack proper punctuation.After a dedication, the book is divided into twenty-one sections, usually the names of body parts. The ending includes acknowledgments and the author’s biography. With one poem per page, there are almost sixty offered.Getting older can affect every body part from the top of our heads to the tip of our toes. Covering each limb, appendage, and coinciding issues that go with aging, the poems are from several lines to many stanzas long.Be it the body as a whole or the ears, eyes, nose, and teeth, shoulder, hands, knees, toes, and feet are observed, complained about, or evaluated. More random topics of colonoscopies, diabetes, skin, hospitals, and word paintings are set to rhyming poem format, forcing the reader to understand and accept the body is aging.Without being morose, depressive, or hopeless, the author looks at the funnier side of growing old, dealing with developing wrinkles, sagging body parts, and forgetting what has been forgotten.Clean, cheeky, and crisp, this little book offers poems to cheer the elderly up, be it at a retirement or assisted living complex or while resting in a rocking chair during the golden years.Having lived and traveled throughout the world, author Hoult lives in Southern California with her husband. Now in her seventies, the senior citizen has won an award for her first book in the collection as she notices the comical side of the body aging.Thanks to Outskirts Press and Bookpleasures for furnishing this complimentary book in exchange for a review of the reader’s honest opinion.

Having a perfect picture of me on the cover of Hoult's new book is sort of an honor...I think... I just wish I would have retained my head as I begin to fall apart! LOL Seriously, one review I read said that those of an older age might enjoy this book better than others... Sadly I have to agree, because it is going to be a forewarning of what is to come...and many might not want to know. But. really, everybody should be warned!For instance, I reached 70 not very long ago. Suddenly, my body is talking to me daily! And She is not being very nice about it! I've had more doctor's visits, tests, shots and probes since March than I think I've had for the rest of my life! OK, my sister is just the opposite having suffered for many years with fibromyalgia and the results it does to your body and she willingly, and we both, gratefully, acknowledge that I've been lucky...Still, having a book come into your home that talks about things that are happening to your book body is quite... enlightening... For one, it makes you realize that your aches and pains are not isolated--there are millions of others who have experienced exactly what your body has or is doing to you... Take, for instance, my two surgeries which will occur, the first one on July 2nd! She provided two poems that specifically spoke to my issues! Why, I was so impressed to read about my foot, I promptly took the book for my pre-surgery appointment and read it to everybody who was in the waiting room with me...didn't get much response, but I enjoyed reading it! But Hoult then took it a step further and explained the reason for the darling twisted toes on my feet!Two things about this:It's shows how what we do when we are young causes many of our health issues later on...It gives new meaning to an old song... These boots are made for walking... Now, it's these toes are going to walk all over...ME!Ok, let's get more serious now...the poetry is not about being poetically beautiful...it's main purpose is to allow you to feel the humor that you may share with all others whose bodies are aging, when our minds are still back in our 20s or 30s... Some of it is even contrived to fit the poem; e.g., "...Help me "catch" my nose that runs..." This book pokes fun at what is happening to us--you know, just like the saying, "Just grin and bear it." because, believe me, that is the better choice than giving up and just waiting around to die, don't you think...?!!!Now the book is divided into either parts of the body or specific, common diseases--diabetes, heart, vertigo, nose, teeth, etc. so plan on leaving this book out where you can reach it quickly... Having a bit of vertigo? Go to the book and laugh about it! Believe me, it is not fun--I always fall over sideways when getting out of bed--so I know when it has hit! And--it is another issue that is not just tied in to aging. My vertigo came on at least 40 years ago....but the poem made it more personal seeing somebody else had already experienced and now shared about it...Now I'm going to close, as I sit here holding up my glasses so I can see properly to read... Yes, I need to get my glasses updated to fit my present eyesight! So, for those of you who might see me on some social network site, here's the author has covered for me by writing "I'll be seeing you..."Now I must add that there are some more serious, or perhaps, inspirational poems under headings of "Keep on Keeping On" and "Language" which are more generic and will be of interest for anybody. Actually, I think the whole book is, even though the poems are centered on aging. It can serve as a wake-up call or help you find the lighter side of the one thing that we all must do, either slowly or quickly...advance in our age!I enjoyed the book...some of the poems were much more personal for me, at this time, but the spirit of humorous acceptance, no matter what the Body Language is telling you, is a wonderful, yet sensitively presented attempt to share and commiserate with each and every other human being,and begin to see it in a lighter, realistic and totally empathetic look at real life--our own!Highly recommend for yourself or as a gift. Personally, I think it would make a great "waiting room" book for doctors, dentists and others who provide health care services....GABixlerReviewsPaperback provided for review
