Self-published book review of the week: Body Parts

Body Parts

I always love when someone takes a subject that can make us a little downcast and turns it around, giving it a kick of humor. To my delight that is what I found in this book of poetry by, Janet Cameron Hoult. She has taken many subjects that we deal with as we age, put them in verse and allowed us to giggle and even in certain ones feel a sense of tenderness. Well done.

My favorites were: Hair Today – Gone Tomorrow, Leaky Pipes (I giggled all day over that one), Tired of Being Tired, and Body Works. I have often referred to people as cars as they age. We go in to get one part fixed and another one messes up. She touched this subject very well. Actually she hit just about every subject we are experiencing and did it with class.

There is no way to end the aging we all must face, unless we die young, and none of us want to take that alternate route. This book lets you know there are others facing the same things you are, it’s not a personal attack, although at times it feels as if it is. Our author tells it like it is in a light manner yet she breaths into each poem a bit of heart and soul. Very nicely done. Enjoy!
